Thanks. I'm actually homing in on a mid-60's Navitimer at the moment but it may take a week or two.

Great watch, I have a Navitimer World, although mine was brand new and not vintage.

Good Luck with your Hunt.

Very nice Tony!!

Excellent

learningtofly · 30 June 2011, 08:07 PM

Thanks guys. I'm really happy with this little lot, although as well as the Navitimer I'll be looking to add a Flightmaster and a Monza at some point too.

Then I'll be done.

Well...

Oh, yes, nice watches. I thought this thread was a roll call for us curmudgeons. Never mind.

Thats a great collection, don't forget to post the pix of Breitling if it pans out and the Heuer of course

hennabav · 1 July 2011, 05:27 AM

Great collection you have there!! Beautiful pieces. Those old 70's speedmasters really have that retro space look to them. They were ahead of its time!!

Frogman4me · 1 July 2011, 06:22 AM

Nice collection I just sold my MKII this week, I really like the grand seiko but your 6309 seems like it has a wrong dial on it?

Paul · 1 July 2011, 07:34 AM

Nice collection building up there.

Are you going for an 806 or an 809 Navitimer ?. Both very cool but if you're going for an 809, I say think carefully about the 24 hour thing before you buy.

After I bought my 809 I concluded that my brain is wired for a 12 hour dial. The Navitimer's very busy dial layout just adds to my confusion too.

I'd probably go for an 806 next time
