Not sure what year it is Rob, I do know he got it for $2200 though.

Yes, that's right. $2200. Looking for a navitimer bracelet though is pushing it closer to $3k in the end.

Thanks everyone for the help. Here's the Navitimer:

Maverick supersonic . . . thanks

Here is another view of the same watch on the left.

I guess the better question is, was this dial ever repped? I've been around a while and don't ever recall seeing an arabic 6-9-12, but . . .

love this post...just love it...

Hey A...hope all is well, my friend!...

Say...Was there ever an arabic dial rep similar to the pix below of the TT on the right?...love the Navis with arabic dials...never, ever, ever part with my black dial arabic tri-compax...

actually wouldn't mind knowing the answer to this question also. Anyone? Thanks

Guys. Need some help flushing out a gen Old Navitimer before purchase. Any issues with the Navitimer on the left? Thanks all!

I'll take the font as-is over a huge recess between datewheel and dial!!!

First order from King just arrived. Amazing service.

I suspected that about the caseback, but was not sure. I changed my order to a 236 anyway. Looking forward to the QC pics from King.

So far, King has been fantastic. I got my 196H QC pics today. I am passing on this particular one based on the lever sticking out. I also explained I'd be ok with either a 196 or 250, but most important really is CG lever fit. I don't know enough to know whether the caseback is correct, but I'm not that bothered by that detail anyway.

Thank you The Zigmeister!

I just ordered one. I'll post pics as soon as it arrives.

Thanks. ;(

It will be interesting to see Davidsens bezel construction. I will be removing the bezel on one of my 25A's coming in so I can hopfully provide some feedback soon.

w0lf maybe we could meet up at Ed's shop and do it there?

Hi all, has anyone confirmed if an OEM bezel will fit a DSN 024A or 025A case?

How does the 2geeks DW v2 look under the DSN cyclops?

That's a gen from around 1992-95.

Yes! And, one can pick one like this up for little more than a cost of a modded/franken. I just picked it up on TZ.

How about this one?

What? No offer to buy the airfare? I distinctly remember on or about the eve of the 2004 election, when the Left wing threatened to leave en masse if 43 got another term, the suggestions from the Right were to indeed bail and that we would oblige airfare.

No my situation hasn't gone that far, and to be fair here; <clickie> but is aside the point 'Phaedo' had made and he did acknowledge it were off the original topic.

I agree with him, the original post's target response perhaps less so, but this is 'Humour' afterall and it was funny, regardless, what the US declares as 'hurting economically' is well and far above a global standard. Even and still before the global recession. Even to the strata of income earners we deem 'poverty level' is high living to a greater portion of the globe. The population could well live off it's own body fat for decades. Remember that old sci-fi dystopian film with Charlton Heston, Soylent Green? Why, one puck of recycled American would carry more fat by gram content than a bucket of Big Macs.

I think my conundrum is the general malaise of 'woe is me' everywhere. This is still America and you cannot swing a dead cat 360 and not hit 40 jobs in spite of the current environ. They're just not 'cool' jobs. My neighbor was an accountant for a manufacturing firm, got laid off and is just about at the end of his rope. OMG one of his two Harleys might have to go! THE HORROR! I KNOW! However he's literally moping around the house poring over the internet looking for another accounting job and that 55K salary to kick him in the ass while his wife took a second job as a librarian so they can coast by. There has been a sign in the window of the Radio Shack for a full time manager's position for over five weeks. I mentioned it to him. He's qualified I would imagine. He looked at me like I suggested he go out behind the supermarket and look for bottles. Why, he is a university grad for christ sakes! He deserves an independent office space with secretarial, luncheon expenses, dry cleaning allowance, and personal parking space. There is a sense of entitlement that pervades the population, at all levels, not just the soup line, waiting for big gummint to bail them out and has all but dissolved any real work ethic, pioneer spirit or 'American Dream' concept that brought my grandfather here in the 30's in the first place. The most frustrating aspect is there is zero rehtoric out of Washington to rally national moral. The current administration makes Nostradamus look like the prophet of the happy wanderer. Doom and gloom, gloom and doom. The country is down, dragging ass and falling for the ruse that only government can pull us out. Which it can't. On it's present course. I've stopped paying attention to 'stimulus', 'corporate bail outs', 'fiscal budgets', 'jobs numbers', 'existing home sales' and just get up and go to work. Not in a cockpit either which I would prefer. "Hey, I'm a pilot", is indeed a more suave line to drop in mixed company, rather than now "I work as a hand on a horse ranch. Pretty much picking [censored] out of stalls and mending fences". There are cowgirls there though and I do get to keep my boat Wait a minute, Rowdy Yates was a ranch hand and ramrod. Whoa, I do have a cool job! I wonder what a High Plains Drifter gets these days, hmmmmmmmm.............

Anyhoo I do appreciate the suggestion to fly to Britain. It did make me feel better. Surrey in high summer. Ever been? The dafodils are probably gone, the bluebells blazing a carpet through the wood. Early supper in Grandma's summer house in the back garden. A round of golf where they play the game properly; WITH NO ELECTRIC CART! A day trip to Fisher's Farm with the little ones and their cousins. Take the train up to Kew Gardens or down to Beachy Head, maybe on to Cornwall. There is a reason the airfares triple in season. Magnificent. Yeah, that's the ticket. Cheers!

ps no 'p' in Demsey, unless of course you are trying to get my goad like 'Dave123' and call me 'dumpsey'. Ooooooo! That makes me want to crush a grape!

pps There will never be another Jackie Kennedy. I don't care what popularity polls may infer

More truth in here than I care to admit, but did this take long to compose?

May the Force be with Subby.

Oh, my eyes . . . .

I just received my Graham Chronofighter Oversize from italiano17771 at Geeks. This watch is absolutely gorgeous. This is one of the best out of the box reps I've ever held - gorgeous bluish-purple hue AR, near-superlume, nice fit/finish. It's definitely an attention getter. If you like big pilot inspired watches, I highly recommend this one. Here's a couple of pics:

BCE from Supermirrors. From what I can tell, it seems like something between the v1 and v2, or?

Supermirrors rocks!
