first breitling
Discussion
well after some deliberation and some serious bargain hunting i got my first proper watch.a 2004 breitling navitimer fighters edition.white face,black dials.all papers and original receipt and approved by ernest jones today,got it for a very very good price so am very happy.will get some pics up tomorrow but just thought i,d share my joy for now :-)
yes thats the one.i really like it.for me its almost bling if you like.not quite the jacobs in your face but then not quite the classic say iwc look.
its actually a very old design and has changed very little from the 60,s iirc.
i like this particular one because its actually brushed steel which means its not quite as lairy as the polished ones(which i do like too)
just to add that pic above as i,m sure you know is a fake.the strap is polished and the date font is wrong(probably other bits too but just a quick look) they are also a chinese seller,i think they may have something to do with 'watch 688'
heres mine

funny i had exactly the opposite reaction...I don't really like Breitlings though, they look very "bling" to me.tempus said:
Welcome to navitimers anonymous,my name is Tempus,i to am an addict (sits down and resumes listening to wrist) 
I have always lusted after one but thought they were too bling. The tread has switched me back on to them.Do high street shops now carry second hand selections?

Yes it is a little plain The only navitimer I want- an original 806 from 50s/60s. Manual wind and no date window either!
Still trying to find a really nice one.... im a fussy git.
Oh- and congrats on the purchase... i bought my second breitling only a week after buying my first... slippery slope this watch thing....

yes more numbers,chronos and general bling are needed lol.
horses for courses though.i love them but can understand why some dont.many people love the understated look of a classic iwc while personally i think they are very bland.
also i expect a lot is down to age.i,m only 27 so i predict the people who dont like this watch maybe a little older.i do agree it is a bit bling but nowehere near bling enough for me to feel like an idiot with one on.
take jacobs watchs.personally i find them hideous,yet they are the favourite watch for the bling celebs out there
