"Good news! The Nav-B Limited Edition watch has arrived! It is simply a stunning timepiece!
As I have written to you before Sir, I am a collector of swiss timepieces. In my collection I have an IWC, 5 Omegas, 3 Rolexes, TAG Heuer, 2 Tissots, Oris, 3 Breitlings and lots more! My latest purchased was a Jaeger LeCoultre Master Compressor Memovox. I also have a Debaufre Nav-B Automatic from before (not the Limited). My expectations on the Limited was it to be rather similar to the ordinary Nav-B Auto.
But to my surprise this was a very different watch. First of all, its somewhat thicker. Secondly it has a polished bezel surounding the dial. The case itself seems to be of an astounding quality! Extraordinary when reflecting on the actual price!
It holds a build quality comparable to timepieces ten times more expensive. The strap and buckle also holds top quality. The buckle a little different from the other Nav-B. A little more subtle I think!
The "engine" is the reliable and precise ETA 2824-2. An excellent choice. Very robust. I have it in my Breitling Superocean Professional Chronometre. And I know it will not dissapoint!
The finishing of the dial and the hands are more than I expected, as the rest of the watch. A nice touch are the visible numbers between the lugs. It gives that little extra on being a really exclusive watch.
I am impressed and even a little puzzled by the low price on this magnificent timepiece. It feels like stealing!
Best regards." Frode F.
