Had it for a few weeks now.
My first 44mm, a size normally too large for my wrist, but after trying on the gen I figured I could get away with it.

CaptainSplash hey! Quick question??
is your BP world from like newer batches or something?? Your gold wings logo and gold 2-24 dial markers look a lot more crisp and raised than on my black dial... could I have gotten some old stock or something?? Maybe it’s the filters or whatever on your camera, hopefully... but damn they look crisp... that blue dial is making me kick myself for not going with it...

Can you replicate the angle of his shots? I couldn’t resist any longer and am just waiting on QC for mine:clap_1:

@Thatwatchguy surely the dial on mine and his are made the same and I’m just being paranoid... the black dial looks great but I got unlucky and got a not so quality movement in mine... I think I’m about to order the gf 01 and another world but the blue dial this time.

Not good to hear about the movement, what is the issue...losing time/noisy/power reserve?

The print on mine is crisp, try a sunburst shot - could be an optical illusion with the black dial/gold print combo. Your black dial is meant to be the one to get.

Get it serviced, mine was sluggish and turns out it was super dirty and needed oil - runs like a sewing machine now. The A7750 can be a good movement of you get it looked over and properly assembled.

CaptainSplash oh boy, you wanna talk about dirty!! My goodness, this thing ruined two micro cloths with the grime that came out of the bracelet, ha! Same with one of my other Navitimers I bought. The JF from InTime was clean as could be on the outside though...
yea I’ll bet it’s real gritty and grimy if you open up the case back...
the chronograph doesn’t just snap back to 12.. it kinda goes wherever it wants to and I have to push it again for it to jostle back to 12... plus when I set the time, the minute hand doesn’t move for at least a full minute sometimes a little less sometimes a little more... and yesterday when I shook my wrist a bit. The seconds hand just stopped running until I took it off and kinda tapped it hard with my palm

oh boy. Yeah, definitely needs a service. I would go as far as chatting to the TD to get this thing shipped back and replaced, but that's up to you of course: You may find that the gear train is gummed up with metal shavings - I popped mine open to remove some shavings that was stuck against the inside of the crystal, and the amount of metal filings that came out of it was shocking.

CaptainSplash if I wore it everyday, maybe I’d entertain sending it and replacing it, but honestly that just sounds like a disaster waiting to happen - especially with my luck... I’d rather him just bro me a solid deal on a blue dial world navitimer.
It was not just the movement either.. [fold over clasp with wings wouldn’t lock down and basically just dangled and the bracelet link screw-pins were not attached to the side link on one side for 3 of the 4 side links I had to remove when resizing]
I had none of these issues on the JF or unknown gray dial.. I post about it in “breitling reps” it is called “3 reps; 3 factories; 3 feelings”
Chrck it out of you would and give me your feedback!
thanks!
