It sounds like you really like the Navi...I would go that route. Whatever you do don't settle for something that is not your first choice. It's too much money to make a decision based on saving a couple hundred bucks.

For me it would probably be a Code Yellow Avenger on the DPII with deployment, if I didn't have my Blackbird it would be a Blackbird.
For you, I have no idea.

I would say a BB as well.

Probably a Navi World, or maybe the Avenger Code Yellow.

I went against most of the opinions here and picked up a Super Avenger hurricane dial with SS bracelet. I got a deal that was to good to refuse. I have wanted once since I first discovered Breitling and know that if I didn't have none my collection would never feel complete. The Navi World will be next on the list, but probably not for at least a year or two. Thanks for all of the opinions! Should have the SA in a couple of months.

Does it have to be new?

I would go for the Navitimer Olympus (I believe it was offered in 03). While it was designed to show off the 365/perpetual calander and be the "top of the line" Navi when it was availible, I think it still ranks as the most outstanding Navi.

I used to think the Navi World was going to be my first foray into the "proper" Navi line (I currently have Chronomatic) but after discovering the Olympus on this site I am now set...

Looks like they go for just under or slightly over 5k on Chrono24 :wink:

If it has to be a brand new ling - you went with my choice.. SA... I just went volcano instead of hurricane :nana:

OP - Enjoy the SA

I would try and convince one of the other members of this forum to sell me their Super Avenger "Blacksteel".

Like this one?

One of the best Breitlings ever made in my biased opinion!

^ exactly Stefan! :bow:

Just an amazing example of a timepiece that pays true attention to detail and shows off what a top of the line mechanical movement can do in terms of functionality.

That with a black face on the navi bracelet is going to be my next addition no matter what! :twisted:
