The Breitling Watch Source Forums

I came across this Navitimer 806 in 18K.

I would appreciate your input regarding its correct-ness.

Let me know what you guys think.

Looks all correct and very nice. I hope it comes with a movement.

I usually don't like gold watches, but even I would wear this one. Looks pretty good. I think the gentle diffusion on the battens and the 12, as it suits this watch.

The photos are careful not to show the lugs above 12, so I would be concerned by this. The pin on the bottom right hand lug is bent, and although thats not necessarily a show stopper, it does lead me to wonder what’s happening elsewhere. Are there any more pics somewhere?

Dial is very clean. Is that a concern!

I don't see anything wrong with what I see, but as Bill suggests the movement would be good to see.

Granted, a movement shot would be good, but a full reveal of the case would remove any speculation as well.

attractive watch, listed at a realistic, even good price. did not sell 1st time around, surprisingly.

Yes, it needs to find the right buyer.

Would buy with those photos and a movement shot, would not buy if I could see the tiny bit of case missing but no movement. Pretty sure that no one else in the market for it would be concerned about the case either.

I would have bought it for already if it wasn't for that badly mangled lug. I don't think that can be repaired to where it wouldn't show.

Well it seems that this is a well known piece to many of us . Opinion of a local jeweller was that he could restore the shape but that there would be some colour variation. Not sure whether all jewellers could do that, my guy is very good - he made this from just a drawing:

Thanks guys for the feedback.

It's also bent inwards. Don't see them like that much round our way, more usually spalyed out. Wait to see if it gets relisted.
