| Post subject: | Breitling 806 Second Hand length? |
Hi all My first post on the forums. I have recently acquired an 806 LIP Navitimer and I noticed that the central second hand of the chronograph extends past the markers of the first ring on the dial. I haven't seen this on any other 806s that I have come across. I know the hands are likely replacements but surely they would be the correct length or is this a dial issue? |

The chrono hand for Navis with the small subdials (i.e. yours) is about 1.5 mm shorter than the ones made for the larger subdials, so yes, yours is a replacement from the later versions, and the original for yours would have been shorter. You also have a replacement sliderule |

You also have a replacement sliderule Thanks for the reply buddman - I didn't know about the shorter hands for the small subdial versions - would the modern replacement hands provided by Breitling be the exact same length or did they at one point provide replacements that were the correct length for my watch? Yes, I know the slide rule is a replacement as well - it doesn't bother me I'm not one for obsessing over 100% originality. Thanks for helping me out! |

I dont know what Breitling has. But I don't think you would be able to just buy a hand anyway. |

the shorter hands for the small subdial panda Navs have become quite impossible to find. |
