Ok, I am curious/interested in the Breitling Navitimer 01 and was wondering if anybody has had any experience with the watch. Pros, cons? Overall experience/opinion.
Thanks in advance.

I don't know a lot about the watch but certainly know it's worth getting! The only con that comes to mind would be if you're really into water sports it might not be the first choice to have with you. That being said, it's a classic and worthy of having in your collection. Ron and the others should be able to provide a lot more info I'm more of an enabler but you knew this many years back LOL.

Dex I have no experience with it but I know it's an icon with Breitling fans. Hopefully some comes along and educates us all.

I've never owned a Breitling but from my experience with other people owning it I have not heard many bad things.

It is one reason I would get a leather strap. It would be a reminder to take the watch off.

I am just in the initial stages. Looking at pricing which I had not done for a while when it comes to watches. Amazing how much watches have gone up on price in just a few years.

I'm surprised o2afac67 hasn't jumped in here with a reply. He knows more about Breitlings than anyone else on the forum. Maybe shoot him a PM and see if he can give you the 411.

You may have already seen this video, but here's a YouTube review on it... Actually, I had seen the video earlier on the day, but no harm no foul. Others, I am sure, will find it useful plus it helped to watch it again. When watches have extra functions, I want to make sure I know how to use them. Nothing like owning a GMT and having somebody say "I don't know" when asked how the function works.

Two of my friends currently have the watch and they are still loving it. I have not heard any negative comments about the watch.

I just now replied to the suggested PM. Havn't been online much lately cuz I'm recovering from another surgery. Hope all is going well with everyone here. I'm doing fine now and looking forward to golf again in a couple of weeks I hope! Best, Ron
