My First Breitling!

I'm the first to admit, I'm not a TRUE Breitling fanatic. It's through a weird turn of events that I ended up with this watch. There doesn't seem to be much info regarding it, other then it was produced for one year in 2004 and this particular model was limited to 100 pcs. It's a shame it's only 41.5mm, I wish it were 44mm, but I am enjoying it none the less. Plus it looks good in my watch winder next to my DSSD and PAM 270.

Anybody know where I can get a new factory strap for a good price?

Hey! Beautiful looking piece... I'm sorry to say I can't help you any further than telling you that its a Breitling Navitimer Chronomatic. Actually quite rare, hence the lack of information on the web. You nailed yourself a beauty there, enjoy!

Thanks John, I've seen the video. Did a search and I've only seen 005/100 and 037/100 that was ever resold. Guess I'm pretty lucky I ended up with this one. Still can't believe the original MSRP on this sucker! Don't think I would have ever bought this thing new.

Nice pickup! I have bought new straps from the NYC boutique before. Paid 1-200 but that was cow not croc lol. Is it actually croc or imitation? If so I'd not be happy paying 500...that's santoni ballpark

Not imitation but not croc. It's actually alligator.

I've spent money on factory Panerai straps and I thought that was really expensive, but $500 is a little more than I'm prepared to spend.

Not sure what I'm going to do here. The current calf still has life, so replacing it with calf just doesn't make sense.
