Do NOT post here!

Thanks for the feedback, folks! Much appreciated...

Hi all,

I was going to pull the trigger on a Navitimer Serie Speciale (12-9-6 configuration) with black dial, and had a few questions and wanted to confirm what I'd read in earlier reviews and "guide to bests...". Guidance would be much appreciated!

1. Want to confirm that the 12-9-6 config is likely to be more reliable than the 3-6-9

2. Want to confirm that the gen case had a brushed finish but the reps have a shiny finish (do any dealers have the brushed finish?)

3. The sub dials are off-white in the gen, as they are in the latest reps

4. What about the recessed date font issue? I'd read that the 3-6-9 has this issue but the 12-9-6 doesn't? I checked with Joshua and he (very fairly IMO) referred me to the pic saying he doesn't want to make a judgement on what I might consider recessed. Is this recessed enough to be noticeable? Picture here link

5. How easy is it locate a gen black leather strap / how much could one expect to pay?

Thanks once again!

Totally awesome review!! You could teach some of the rep makers about attention to detail

Welcome Mobile.

Interesting choice of name. Any particular reason?

JTB

Not a very interesting reason I'm afraid... I travel a lot

Broadly, this would be correct...

Welcome.... I see you joined today so I'm kinda confused as to how you've been reading on and off for a couple of months....

Welcome.

Thats simple - with a diff id!

Hi All,

I'm new here - been reading on and off for a couple of months. This is an awesome resource!

From what I've read, I was compiling a list of most accurate reps. My impressions:

1. Rolex Sub (With date Black/ Green bezel)

2. Omega SMP (Bond)

3. Omerga Speedy Broad Arrow

4. Breitling Navitimer Serie Speciale

5. Panerais (tons of them!)

Would this be broadly right?

Cheers
