The Best Breitling Navitimer Homage I've Ever Seen?!!

[@MirrlyonTime]

Well I thought I found the best navitimer homage out there. Any of you have a similar experience on Aliexpress? Let me know in the comments.

[@pharaoh27]

Have you checked out the Rotary Navitimer homages?

[@MirrlyonTime]

Yep, mentioned in intro I had one, but the crown at the 10 for the rotating bezel just didn’t do it for me, there is another one that looks decent that doesn’t have one, but it isn’t the reverse panda dial like the B01 of Breitling.

[@Trapvision3D]

Thanks for the info. This isn't surprising, but still crazy. People out here just shameless with the fakes!

Hello Cris! Greetings from Brazil! I've found one of my favorite homage on Aliexpress this days. This one is a Pagani Design homage to a Audemars Piguet Code 11:59. Man this watch came last week to me and it's fantastic! If you like quartz (Seiko mechaquartz) you Will Love It! I bought the black dial, but I was so in doubt for the blue one... Well, sorry If my english is not so good! Thanks for your time!

[@ricardonercolini6053]

Forget to say I've payed abou US 40 dolars on "Choice"

[@MirrlyonTime]

I love my pagani designs! What pd model number are you referencing? I have a few of their meca quartz watches and I think they are some of the best on aliexpress

[@ricardonercolini6053]

PD-YS008 the model number

Happy New Year!!!!

[@MirrlyonTime]

You too Bill thanks friend

[@patrikjakobsson7080]

You should check out Sinn 903 St II.

[@MirrlyonTime]

@@patrikjakobsson7080 yes I know of that one and if one day I can afford it I may very well get that! Thanks m8

Wear it with pride no one needs to know 🤫 Lol 😂😂😂😂

[@MirrlyonTime]

I actually would have but the 60 min chronograph was also defective, it worked for about 45 minutes and then both the running seconds and running minutes would stop dead and it was a bunch of button pushes to reset. Got my refund and put it in the trash bin

[@James20013]

@@MirrlyonTime yeah it’s tough sometimes you never know how long the watch will work properly

[@nkhoury1]

The writing on the back is not misspelled- it is French

[@sylvaincoldstalker4802]

Agree, but not about the "cretifie" wich means nothing in french :p

[@rappers5719]

Mr M. At $30 US. (Under 24 quid) What did you really expect?

[@MirrlyonTime]

Rappers, to be honest not much, was buying for the looks. Aside from the chrono malfunctioning (it stopped at around 45 min and took a bunch of button pushes to reset) the watch was actually quite nice. I was expecting the dial to say what it said on the store and not have Breitling put on the dial or on the caseback. The seller misrepresented the watch, admitted to doing so after he sent it. I got a refund so no complaints other than the seller completely misrepresenting the watch as a homage I only to send a fake

[@rappers5719]

@@MirrlyonTime To many of them out there. I'm glad I un-subbed from the site. I would have a lot of unwanted watches. You know when you've had a drink and think, that looks like a bargain? That's me. 😉

[@MirrlyonTime]

@@rappers5719 hahaha, well this one looked the part, for 40 bucks I wasn’t expecting much, but the wafch itself and band was actually decent for the price, just had to include the bloody branding on it blind siding me in the process (as well as all other future customers). Funny thing is I saw another wafch that looked fantastic (IWC Pilot Chrono homage) only to notice that in the reviews of the watch pics that were submitted had iwc on the dial while the advertised watches for sale did not. Its a bloody shame

[@Trapvision3D]

Nice wrist Check ✅️

[@MirrlyonTime]

Haha knew you would like that!

[@edgardochunco1012]

A very nice navitimer homage in Aliexpress is made from berny, I haven't found a review of it until now... Best regards from México, 😊

[@MirrlyonTime]

Oh? I haven’t seen a Berny Navitimer homage do you know the model number for it? Thanks for watching and please subscribe

[@edgardochunco1012]

@@MirrlyonTime The number I bought us 2835 M-B, Regards

[@edgardochunco1012]

Is no exact homage but it have slide rule, a seiko mecaquartz movement, and the bracelet is similar to the navitimer, its seems to me a very nice watch, best regards

[@MirrlyonTime]

@@edgardochunco1012 I will see if I can find it

[@fossilimprint2954]

Well, that was interesting. Subscribed.

[@MirrlyonTime]

Thanks so much!

[@thebaldwatchcollector]

Well done on exposing some of these shenanigans, send me the link though I fancy a cheap Navitimer 😂😂😂 (joke)

[@MirrlyonTime]

Stay tuned next week I found a truly brilliant one!

[@aviator_bryan]

Well, you'd know it was a fake by the cost, even before it shipped.

[@MirrlyonTime]

True that lol! But I wasn’t trying to buy a real Breitling, I wasn’t trying to buy a fake, I was buying a homage. What was advertised by the seller is not what was sent. Thanks for watching

[@icarusonice2350]

Bro, that's not an homage (i.e. tribute, taking inspiration from), that's a straight-up fake 😂

[@MirrlyonTime]

Yes it is! Why I didn’t mention the store and why I also said it went to the garbage bin, and if you saw the whole video I explain that the dial that they show on their store is not the dial that they send to those who purchase the watch. Very dissapointing

[@icarusonice2350]

Sucks what happened, but that caseback typo is hilarious

[@MirrlyonTime]

@@icarusonice2350 I know right! Thanks for watching

[@scatterbrain9490]

👍

[@karlsenula9495]

Yeah better to stick with some of the more reputable stores in Aliexpress ... there are some great spec monster/homage stores, brands and products out there .. no need to go the full fake route ... how disappointing.

[@MirrlyonTime]

Yep as I said in the video I thought this was going to be an amazing homage piece, until it wasn’t.

[@Cougar139tweak]

Without the proper logo, it's not really a knockoff....

[@MirrlyonTime]

We’ll agree to disagree the logo is pretty dam close and the name Breitling on the dial along with Swiss made…..unacceptable when making a homage is perfectly legal, and acceptable

[@bluecollarwatches7048]

Pretty sure a pawn shop would have gave you serious coin for it 😀

[@MirrlyonTime]

Oh for sure, literally one coin!

[@bluecollarwatches7048]

@@MirrlyonTime I seen the fake seikos on there, all the pictures from buyers say seiko on it but the aliexpress page they have a sterile dial.
