Cracking choice! If it had a date, I think I'd have a blue and a red! One of the best value watches out there at the moment!

Wear in good health and all that!

I do like those. The Slide Rule is surprisingly useful too.

Thanks RR, bought it new in 02, before Breitling went bling mad.

The current Navitimers are pretty much still like yours, just a smidge bigger at 43mm and a tri-compax dial layout (although they do a soup plate sized 46mm one too).

The last Navitimer I had was a Cosmonaute, which I now really, really, really regret selling.

One on the right obviously....

Just ordered a black leather Nato strap for my Seawolf Avenger, will post a pick when it arrives.

Ooh, sort of forgot about this since I got my Pepsi, but that piccy has caused a slight twinge!

Very nice & better for the lack of date IMHO.

They're better in the flesh too. Love my Milgauss and previously had a GMT with ceramic bezel but the only thing the latest Tudors do is question the "value" in Rolex and similar watches. I suppose that's why the UK launch is taking so long.
Great watches. Really love the new Heritage Ranger too!

Got to be this hardly took it off since I got it on Wednesday

From a pure design perspective, I think you maybe right. I just genuinely never know the date!

I am struggling not to get one of these though...

I think my Zenith and 16610 may need to leave the collection soon (as well as a couple of Tags) and maybe one of these will appear

I thought I'd treat my old Breitling to a new strap. I've had the watch for 23 years - my first "proper" watch and was bought for me by my wife.

I still like it.

Squale 1545. 40mm case, 20mm strap with an ETA 2824-2 movement. I had the Sapphire changed for a Squale domed version with no date magnifier. Unashamedly a homage but for just over £300 I love it.

[Pesty]

Very nice

Got a call on Friday saying my 2007 Chopard Mille Miglia is back from service. I've missed it, despite it not being a regular wearer. Will collect tomorrow

I might be a little bit in love... brand new grey alligator from Jean Rousseau on Piccadilly and it looks brand spanking new and a very nice size at a small-wearintg 40mm. Dark blue croc with red stitching on order

Very nice!

I have the older version of this- the Master Calendar, a 1999 model I think.

I got a matte grey croc strap from camille fournet and specified the curved ends that set these JLC cases off so well. Yours looks lovely on that strap.

Splendid.
When my numbers come up it'll be one of these or very similar.

Did you not consider JLC's own grey with red stitching that Tim has on his Ruthenium dial model, or was it simply too much money for all it was?
