I’ve owned this watch in black DLC now for about 10months. It has spent a lot of time on my wrist. Solid offering for an everyday type of field/tool watch from Breitling. Added sauce is that it can be purchased on grey market for a substantial discount.
I love this watch, it’s gorgeous and honestly I love the simplicity and overall clean esthetic. The watch snobs are always gonna bitch and moan for some reason or another. Oh well. Love the video pal 👍
Nick Got a question for you about the Aviator 8 that you reviewed. I purchased 1 as well and the date is never in the center of the date box. It's always shifted to the left. Also my second hand is silver with a red arrow end. Noticed yours was 1/3 white at the end of the second hand and my bezel is free floating 360 degree. No chance of finding 12 without looking at it. I also noticed that your date was centered as it should be. Could this watch be bogus? I purchased it from a company ending in MAXX on ebay and have never been so p.off at a purchase. Also the clasp stopped latching 2 weeks in and they replaced it. As far as the off center date they claim it's normal on some Breitlings and can't be corrected. Ant input?
Mine was the Navitimer 8 (before the name was changed to the Aviator 8) which accounts for the difference in secondhand coloration. I've not seen a date window misalignment as described, and the bezel should definitely be firmer once at the 12 o'clock. Not sure if it's a matter of it being genuine so much as being in need of service though. You might consider bringing it to a local Breitling AD to check out to determine if it requires service and/or if it is genuine.

Did you buy it from Jomashop? Would you recommend to buy from gray market?
@@sargisparunakyan6109 Yes! I bought it from Jomashop. No issues with mine… still keeps time +/- 2 seconds per day.

Great stuff 👍 Best of luck with the channel ✌️
Excellent review Nick!
Disappointed in the changes.

I have the day-date and it's my EDC. Bought at NYC boutique '18. Great buy and purchase experience.
Is it antimagnetic?
Fantastic
