Help with mystery Navitimer (no sunken date - working register @3)

[elconquistador]

I just purchased a Navi A22332 without a sunken date and with a working chrono at 3, but not at 6. The watch arrived damaged and I would like to get it fixed but it would be helpful to know which factory made it.
The other difference is that the registers are a flat cream colored, not concentric circles and silver or gold tone like the BP.
Any help would be appreciated.

So YOU bought that watch..... ;-)
That watch is a bit of a mystery to me. It's the last generation of the A23322 rep, prior to the BP that was released in 2014. It's a different case and bezel. But the datewheel looks to be later gen BP (dates 1-9 rotated 90 degrees, as per gen). I'd love to get inside of it to see what the story is.

I’m def. keeping my ears and eyes open for this one!

Well the answer to the mystery is that the date wheel was glued to the dial, it was not recessed but it also can not turn. IlluZion07 ripped me off.

So it was a non-functioning date wheel? Wow. That’s pretty shitty to not inform the buyer. Hope you get it worked out!

...I knew something wasn’t not right about that when I asked him about it. He contradicted himself or something.. or said something that clearly wasn’t that going to be true...

makes me wonder about that other nav we were wondering about... I think that one indeed had a sunken datewheel though and it was an 01 for sure and not an a23322... elconquistador im pissed off for you dude...

Let me know if my interaction with him is needed or helpful..

 

[elconquistador]

I appreciate that. The mods have gotten involved, but if you have ideas that would great.
