...wearing my gen Navitimer...
S5002511.jpg


Didnt see a single new Breitling model - as in; SO Heritage, Blackbird, Chronomatic 49 etc

BUT what I did see were some utterly superb existing models. The Bentley GT Racing - luuuurverly! The part-brushed finish is very matte, making it look smaller and quite subtle - even with the stores halogen lamps on it. The AR is a must for the reps - otherwise its a 20yard tell. I really like this model now, if I bought a GT Racing rep, I'd want K2222 to mod it.

The other Bentley model was the Mark VI Complications 19. It looks boring and odd on the official website; but boy, in person this is very, very nice.
A good size at 42mm - it was the brown dial model on display. I'd love to have this Breitling!

Of course the A23322 Navitimer looked resplendent in the display, with silver dial, white sub dials and arabic markers. Why dont they rep this dial??

I have always loved the Navi. The calculator I consider just like a chrono, it does not really matter how it works I am never going to use it!

It's actually pretty easy (i.e: look on opposite side ;) ) However again... I am not gonna use it for 3*6... too easy.

Look at the teeth on that monster. Nice pick. Same with the AD's here. Not much new.

LOL brilliant! :)

I have to admit - i do use it occasionally for miles>kms conversion, but thats it! The chronos are invaluable for exact precision timing when engaged in high intensity cooking... I hate boiling the vegetables too soft!! ;)

Why run away?....thats like asking him for the time,he would likely look at his cell phone first.....then give you the time.... :|

Watches are 'man jewellery',nothing to do with time or calculators..... :roll:

Nice Nav.,i am sure Steven wishes he owned it.... 8)

I agree. And cellphones are for making calls. Not surfing the web or taking pictures.

But thats just not what we only use them for,thats the facts....many peoples lives evolve around the cell phone and telling time is a part of it....

Like we only buy Nav's for the looks,thats all...not the 'chronos'....

I partly agree with you Dave, watches are jewellery to some degree (especially yours ! LOL) but I use my watch for telling the time more than I use my cell phone. In my job, I'm not permitted to carry a cell phone (or anything electronic) in sensitive areas...
