Very nice

I have had the original and looked at this one since the presentation. It looks very nice, a modern reissue of a great watch.
I suspect that seeing it in the metal will be critical (for my credit card of course).
Thank you both for the pics.

Breitling Navitimer 806 - 1959 Re-edition Review
By: christianch : October 19th, 2019-07:34
Dear All, I am happy to share my (mostly visual) review of the Breitling Navitimer Ref. 806 - 1959 Re-edition. I have been looking for this watch since Basel World and just Thursday I received an email saying that it was available through the Breitling we...
Congratulations!

I received mine too yesterday. I ordered back in March when I first saw it released at Basel. Such a great watch! ...
Congratulations, very nice watch.

A beautiful re-edition, good job from Breitling. 806 and 809 are among my fav Breitlings. I love the fact of being able to buy a watch from the past, with today's technology. Enjoy it! Vte
Very nice

This is one of the best reissues around. It is very similar to the original, not an anabolic version of a vintage watch. The only thing I don't like very much is the plexi, in a 2019 watch for everyday use, and not a cheap one, the sapphire is a must, no ...
may be ..but I must admit that I am fascinated

by the plexiglass. somehow it fits well and if one doesn't like the scratches can be changed !!(and probably won't be that expensive) personally I don't mind it
I didn't realize the crystal was plexi

...which is a great thing. If anything I think Plexi is easier to photograph than sapphire. It will only look more vintage and charming over time.
thanks for the photo

ahh it really looks the same glad it was re-issued !! Breitling can probably revive several nice models from the past !
Congrats Christian...

...great foresight. Please - what’s the WR? (pplater junior is a big fan, but also a big surfer!). Cheers, pplater.
thank you! The Water Resistance is 30m!
By: christianch : October 23rd, 2019-03:47
I am no expert but I have been told iii the past that 30m rating is not good enough for swimming even 1 meter (strange but apparently it means that) may be is more of a land/air than sea watch
Thanks Christian...

Continue to enjoy - but don’t get wet! ;-) Cheers, pplater.
