Just ordered a Navitimer 41 with green dial on JTime. It feels like an odd choice of watch to have this one as my first rep but lets see how it will turn out.

Navi's are one of my absolute favorites. I am sure you have read that there really isn't a great rep out there- what factory did you go with BSF? the KOR's are probably about the closest of anything newish in the 41 but have some issues as well. You and I both wish there was something closer- but market prob doesn't support, I ended up going gen to scratch the Navi itch.

Well it was a from TF factory what JTime has but we spoke earlier because TF reps does look kinda sketchy. But Li assured me that he will look for a good rep. I was especially suspicious about lines on the dial and bezel not matching in most QC pics I have seen. But if I dont feel satisfied with the QC, my backup plan is go to for Blue Navitimer 41 from V7F which looks pretty good.

That V7F Navi is NWBIG like status, unfortunately has not been available to my knowledge for quite some time (even though it shows up on TD lists)
