I really like it just as it is; I wouldn't change a thing.

As I already have a navi, in-house movement or not, it's not on my radar but then again you never know :wink:

Looking forward to seeing some pics D8. You could be one of the 1st from the sounds of it.

I love it as much as everyone else, but I'm not sure I can justify it when I already have a mint display/exhibition Navitimer Cosmonaute. It would be another story however in an exhibition back Blackbird......that would assume an inhouse movement ever finds its way into a Blackbird. I'll wait to see how cashed up I'm felling, and what else is on the horizon before making my final decision on this B01 DB Navi.

I've been looking at the pictures quite a bit over the last hour or so and actually I think the date wheel is fine after all. I think the red font seems to work really well. In fact I really think this Navi B01 is perfect!

I think the date wheel n font are fine. It is perfect, I agree....but I bet the price won't be perfect. It's gonna be a mad dash to see who gets their hands on this one first!!

the back is superb

It's about time. I think this should have been released before the Chronomat B01. Either way, I'll be giving George a call to secure mine.

I was wondering who would be the first to call on this.

I'm not a huge fan of the Navitimer line, but I like how they use the applied logo. I think the red date font also adds something more to this model that I really like. The display back is very nice and I like how they put the limited edition numbers on the side of the case. I'd really like to see the newer Chronomat limited edition that will also be released.

I like it. I like it a lot. Looks like they got this one right.

Only thing I don't like is the 4.30 date location (one of my usual complaints). Date colour and font are fine with me though.

Love it. I'm so glad that they resisted the urge to change it.

The one extra thing that i would like to see on it would be

Edition Limitee or Limited Edition

above the 6 o'clock subdial

Agreed. It might also be nice to have some allusion to the movement on the dial. Maybe a little hockie but could be nice if implemented correctly.

Amazing! Finally, a brand new Breitling model that seems flawless to me. Not just a new dial, not just PVD, but real innovation. Well done, Breitling :bow: :lingsrock: 8)
