So, guys, I was scrolling through trustytimes website looking at the navitimers - again!
There is a page where there exists nothing exact blue, white and black navitimers from the same factory. They are a mixture of 01’s and A23322, ALL of which have AB0120 on the caseback, which is the same scenario as my gray dial navitimer. Also, all of them say 42mm/16mm. These two factors and others are what make me think they are all the same factory.
Now! To my point:
The last two watches on this page are black and white. They ALSO have bezel markings stretching to the dial!!
It is the description and everything else that leads me to believe it’s the same factory as all the others on that page with the awfully tiny bezel markings...
The two are definitely NOT BP as they have sunken datewheel and I’m very confident that it is not the JF stuffed in the middle of them all for two reasons. Usually JF is listed as such and secondly, there are bad bezeled Watches immediately following these two....
One thing does throw a wrench in my theory that I found a good navitimer 01 rep that is not talked about a lot...
The black watch with great bezel markings, has it’s super sloppy brother an a23322 with bad bezel as the qc images you can click on (but the video is the 01 with red chrono stick).
Strangely enough, the white watch with good bezel does have proper qc images where the bezel stretches...
