….dude… I may have asked this before, but that slide rule… is it gen?? That is one damn good looking navi. It’s still the one navitimer I want in gen. Wonder if this rep is still available?
I started to pay attention to pics of those. They started to stick out and you get a little tired of seeing the same old, same old. The white and red TWA ( had a TWA Dome when I lived in St. Lousi) and black also look good. And I'm thinking Neon 7 sold that heavily modded Navi if I remember correctly. His pics made me regret selling mine. A new crystal would have transformed it. I know you had it as well didn't you?

So to answer both your questions combined.

@shinynewbling25 i did sell the first build of this last year I did but recently this year I built it again as I missed my original too much. Made a few changes this year along the way too to get close as gen as possible.

@Slanglican - yes good spot. This year’s build uses a gen slide rule I picked up on eBay.

I don’t wear this often and I’d forgotten how beautiful this dial is in the light and the GF premier strap goes so perfect with it!!
Has great wrist presence but not overbearing on the lug to lug.

(So bummed to sell this thing and especially for as cheap as I have it…)

Its KOR mate, ootb, NWBIG ;)
I loved my KOR, still have and use the blue leather strap that came with it! I got mine when they very first came out and the blue dial was too dark, but it was a great watch nonetheless.
F factory came out with this watch recently and looks like they got he blue dial correct as well as the knurling on the bezel. Only bummer is it just has the two lines of text and the used the general eta don’t instead of the usual b13 caliber font (but the regular eta font is used on some of the watches for this model so it isn’t incorrect).

I’ve been trying to find someone who has bought this factory to see what it’s like…
