Where your daughter is
Chrono cockpit with galactic bezel swap.
The galactic bezel really gives it that chronomat vibe!
Yes! That's what I'm talking about. Is that the Galactic 39 Chrono bezel or by chance, a galactic 41 3 hand bezel that would fit? Always loved this Chrono cockpit with the roman numerals. I've been keeping an eye out for many years just never pulled the trigger. That strap looks great with it. I don't know that I've seen that many blues and that bezel transforms it. I've got a couple Cockpit 41's and put the Galactic bezel on them. I think the Galactic Chrono 39 rep was the 1st Breitling I tried to buy in 2014 but no longer available. The Cockpit Chrono is better anyway. Beautiful watch Slanglican.

this could be an prolly is an unpopular or controversial opinion, but having owned basically every navitimer rep that’s out there except the newer BLS garbage and that FF navitimer 41 (which I think looks great and a better blue dial than KOR made); this v9f navitimer is the best navi rep that I’ve seen/had. I’m sure the black and white dial were even better. The crazy thing is that I scooped it up on a special for TWO HUNDRED $’s!!!!!! The only flaw is the “Ran” am on caseback, which was super easy to fix.
BEST! NAVI! REP! Availavle!!
Beat slide rule and slide rule alignment
Best knurling on bezel
Best B logo
Least sunken DW
Solid movement
For blue, color is near spot on


If they’re still available, get one!!!

It’s the 39. I got hooked up with a watchmaker and he felt so bad about not being able to service my b01 movement, that he ordered me the galactic bezel. You find the galactic bezel on the a13358’s mostly, and mine is an A13357 but they’re the same watch/case and crystal very thing so it fits perfect! I also found a 20mm blue rubber strap and it looks great with hit!

It is indeed sunken just less than others including the gf navi. I still can’t believe they haven’t Figured out how to fix that yet. I mean they cloned a 4130 column wheel chrono movement for goodness sakes

Where your daughter is
They put these on sale for $208 a while back and I kinda wish I’d gotten black as well.
I started to pay attention to pics of those. They started to stick out and you get a little tired of seeing the same old, same old. The white and red TWA ( had a TWA Dome when I lived in St. Lousi) and black also look good. And I'm thinking Neon 7 sold that heavily modded Navi if I remember correctly. His pics made me regret selling mine. A new crystal would have transformed it. I know you had it as well didn't you?
