Hi folks
Just got around to taking some pics of the new baby and thought to share them - bought a cheap version of this watch first and liked it so much that I eventually upgraded to the 1:1. The difference in cost was substantial, but so is my satisfaction and (within reason of course) isn't that what it's all about?
I had already bought a box for it ,but received a Navitimer - Fighter's edition box by mistake. So I am on the lookout for a Fighters now of course!
I also bought a catalogue that was meant to feature this watch but didn't - oh well ... can't have everything.
Bought another box - a nice B4B with outer case, from the US. Needed some small repairs and a refurbishment of the outer case - all done within an hour of receipt
Bought a further catalogue, this time with pictorial confirmation of the contents prior to payment - worked out well and included price lists.
Additional purchases included: Brown Bakelite box and hang/swing tags used to price the watches. (didn't use the tags in these pics)
... just to be clear, I have no idea how accurate this watch is to the original, but I have held them side by side (except the gen had a brown dial) and couldn't tell them apart. This is not a technical review - just a member excited about his new rep.
Enjoy!
