Passion!
Yes, we should always let passion be the decider! Passion trumps all other "reasons", because mechanical timepieces are not all that "rational" to begin with (",)
I don't really have a similar story but made a (for me) relatively large bet on a DB27 that I wasn't totally sure about and haven't looked back since. Oh, I changed the strap too!

Breitling Navitimer A23322 - Tale of a simple watch ...
Team, Yes, I know: 1) The ETA Valjoux 7753 is far from being a horological masterpiece 2) A common Breitling Navitimer 3) (To Nicolas) It has a date at 4:30 4) Worst! The Breitling Caliber B23 don't have a quick set date(You need to bounce between 6PM to ...
Same situation
Am in the exact situation. And for the same reasons, guess we all are, from pulling the trigger. Likewise, never had a passion for vintage. IMO, one of the better modern iteration of an icon. Hell! I even considered a destro version of the Navitimer, whic...
I'm glad to learn that I'm not the only one ...
Let's see if more Purists dare to "confess'. Cheers, Nilo

I too have been bitten
I've had A13020 for 20 years and love it. I can never, for the life of me, understand how a certain big watch with a pedestrian Unitas pocket watch movement gets it's own page but a watch with this rich history is neglected. Oh well!
The A13020 is a Old Navitimer?
In this case the movement should be a Valjoux 7750. Does it matter? No. Enjoy, Nilo
I like your
black & white Nirvana very much :) In my opinion Navitimer is one of horological classics and personally I would enjoy that one very much as well Well done Nilo Damjan
Thank you Fred ...
I knew that you should "pop up" on a Navitimer post. Not your league but nice. Amazing accuracy: 0s deviation since Sunday!!! Some day I go to understand why basic movements are so accurate. Cheers, Nilo
The Breitling 7753
I recently sold my Breitling SuperOcean Heritage Chronographe 44 that had the Valjoux 7753 base also. While I originally wasn't the biggest fan of the brand, I found the quality of the watch to be fantastic and it was deadly accurate. The SOH and the Navi...
