So, here is the
BP blue dial and white dial.
JF (blue dial - in pic with navi world and stratos)
Stratos gray
V9f blue dial Pan Am edition


Wow!!! Thanks for sharing the pictures of your Navitimer collection!
The sunken date issue is not as severe as I thought!
It is quite encouraging to see how it actually looks like before making the purchase, really appreciated!
Even the bezels of many of your models are quite aligned, I wonder how many RLs one has to give to the TDs nowadays to get such excellent quality haha.
Wish there exists a good factory that produces great Cosmonautes without serious sunken date windows as well!
Maybe I could first get one of these classic Navitimers before pursuing my grail, the Cosmonaute :)

If I bought one today and had to have a blue dial,. In all likelihood, I’d get the f factory blue dial or v9f pan am (if still available)

If black dial, def JF or maybe KOR, but it’s tough to pass up that JF black dial. (If you don’t mind the frozen 3 o clock sub dial and bogus sub dial hands, then BP A23322 is totally the way to go.

Dude my gen navitimer slide rule doesn’t line up perfect. I used to not believe that but I’ve had 2 and both were off on a few numbers

…see… thanks cen my gen is off

Only the BP A23322 or any traditional 7750 (6,9,12 layout) will have correct sub dial spacing as any tricompax layout (3,6,9) uses 7753 spacing as opposed to tthe B01 sub dial spacing…
