Looks OK to me, but you'd be better off asking the experts: http://www.breitlingsource.com/phpBB2/viewforum.php?f=11&sid=b479f8d738bd028cad4417d6ac0c6de8

There are all sorts of details in the different versions and it requires real expertise to distinguish a franken from a piece with integrity.

thanks Lous!
I should stick to the Zenith - it would be easier :d

Sorry, just seeing this. Good all day long as far as what the outside shows and serial number puts it at 1966 this makes all the hands, dial, bezel, etc check out fine. Still would have to see the money shot before I put money on the table however. Bottom pusher looks stuck and the crown might be a replacement from this angle, not the cleanest but an easy 2.5k watch all day long In todays market.

It went for 2,5kUSD. I would have loved to add it to my collection. A beautiful untouched, 100% original, one-owner piece in fantastic condition. You seldom see a dial and slide rule insert on a -66 Navitimer as good as this one. One of very few vintage Breitlings worth owning IMO

Being a vintage Breitling guy this was an easy one to get right. Prices are going through the roof of late and I have seen some questionable beaters go for 2k of late. Soon you won't be able to touch a good Navitimer for less than 3k and 3.5 for a Cosmonaut.
