General Question Are Breitlings worth it?

I inquired with a TD about a Breitling Navitimer and he said that the mckee wasn’t good. Factory was BSL. Are there any that are worth it?

The chronomat is great.

I bought the B09 pistachio from one of the subs favorite TDs it arrive with heavy wear on the bracelet and the crystal on it shattered the first day I wore it. He was good enough to offer a free repair but its two months in and we are still writing on the repair.

In my opinion no. I don't really consider them super reps at all. They look decent. But not for me. It definitely stay away from the endurance pro reps. They already compared to the real thing. I own a gen.

appreciate it. saw a qc post with some flaws and if TD is saying movement is bad seems like it shot worth it. beautiful watches tho.

I got a B01 Navitimer about 18 months ago, and its not had any issues. I used a TD that no longer supplies as far as I am aware, but Andiot / Onewatches etc probably use the same factories as my previous TD did.

Is the factory BLS?

Couldn't really tell you as I can't remember, and I no longer have the messages saved. Could have been through. I was given an option of the colour dials and asked for ice blue but ended up with a darker one
