It's GF Factory...

I thought the only navitimer that gf makes is the navitimer b01, with the “B” logo?
i could be wrong though!
Your blue one is repped by “unknown factory” at least this is what I was told by Trustytime he just calls it I know. Factory or smaller factory that makes some breitling a, but he’s never specifically named it or said is RXF or OXF or BLS or anyone like that...
I would be curious to know the name of the factory as well, but I’m 98% sure it isn’t GF!
But they did at least update the slide rule insert from previous versions...

I know a lot will disagree here as the GF Navitimer never received unanimous love or respect from all the Breitling OG’s here... but, I have to say, I just got the black dial GF navitimer and I already have the blue dial...
the black dial is really nice...
There are only two little things about it..
1) The sub dials are a little too “gray” silvery colored and
2) the six o clock sub dial is a smidge too close to the “S” on “Swiss made” which is one of the issues on the JF.
[this is interesting bc my blue dial GF is not this way. It has a clear separation between the “s” on Swiss made and the six o clock sub dial..

Despite this, there is A LOT right about the GF navitimer and honestly the whole “B” situation was overblown as they use different “B”’s on the navitimer vs say the superocean heritage or the premier...

In any case, I recommend the black dial just as much as the blue dial...

my bezel is a couple of shades darker than gen and it’s a Half-click off centered!
....but... yeah, I was mehh, about it at first, and it’s grown on me really fast! I LOVE this piece and I’m sure it’s a keeper as I’m growing a bit tired of A7750 troubles...

Just hands down the best piece I’ve ever had and my favorite watch. I started out being obsessed with just navitimers and Andrew at trustytime kept telling me to try an avenger. I don’t need to keep chasing different avengers like I do the navitimer bc I nailed it the very first time!
This is the only one I need! Just love this piece on the leather tang deployant!
