My new-to-me BP Navi World

(y)That is a really beautiful replica without the terrible sunken date. Happy for you! I had the same BP model. But it needs a much better picture that appreciates better this great rep ;)

Haha. I'm absolutely horrible with a camera unfortunately! Let me see if I can get a better pic.

The only issue I have with the watch is the hand in the 6 o clock subdial sometimes moves out of position (like in the pic I've posted). Idk how or when it happens. I run the chrono for a second or two and reset and the needle goes back to 12 in the subdial. Second time this has happened.

My Navi World Franken.

Gen strap, dial, hands, date wheel, slide rule and lastly, (and probably most importantly) gen movement!

Where did you get a gen movement from? I've tried searching Ebay and found eta 7754 (without Breitling branding anywhere on the movement). Couldn't find one off of an actual Breitling lol.
I've also been searching for a gen DW but can't find one.

Sorry, I missed this question! I got the movement on Chrono24. I never seen one for sale before, and I have never seen one for sale since.

No worries! I appreciate the response. I didn't think of checking C24 out. I'll get on there and see what I can find.
I found a couple of supposedly gen ETA 7754 movements on ebay. Not Breitling branded though. I'm so new to rep watch modding. Not sure if I'll need a different (gen) date wheel or if the DW with the movement will be the same. Also not sure if it'll work with the BP dial since someone told me a gen 7754 sits lower than the A7754 and thus, there might be a sunken DW. So confused.

Breitling use a chronometer certifed ETA 7754 (the highest grade) and then add their own rotor. I bought the highest grade ETA 7754 (also chronometer certified as it has a serial number engraved on the movement) and then added a gen Breitling rotor.

I think the rep dial should fit the eta 7754, but you'll need gen hands as the rep hands are designed for the A7754 which is thicker.

I can see one 7754 listed on C24, https://www.chrono24.com/all/moveme...utreler-rotor-datum-bei-der-3--id29905178.htm

I'll be listing my watch for sale as soon as I can find the time to gather all the info I need for a HVS. If you're interested let me know and I can do a reserved sale for you.
