So I was chatting to Andrew @TrustyTime regarding the most recent Navitimer 01. Obviously it is much improved but has a couple of big issues in the form of the low-beat movement and sunken date wheel.
There has been speculation of a new version and the timings given have been reducing every time they've been mentioned. This has led me to think maybe we genuinely are about to receive the most awesome Navi ever! I thought I'd ask Andrew straight, here's the conversation, I'm sure he won't mind me sharing it.
I should also mention that I was asking off the back of an order for the current Navi so it was definitely in his interests NOT to mention a new release and secure a sale of the current one which he has now lost (temporarily)...

Hi Andrew,
I just heard that there is a 28,800 version of this Navitimer with the sunken date wheel issue fixed due out in the next few months. I assume this will be based on a 7753 movement.

No.. Thats not true because Asia 7753 cannot have the date change at the crown at all.

Hi Andrew,
I know but I heard on RepGeek that the high beat version was coming soon. Apparently someone heard it from you and Josh @Perfect Clones?
Not having a quick date set would be fine for most people if they got a perfect Navi!

Thanks for confirming Andrew, I really appreciate you taking the time to explain!
So, just to be sure, will this new version be a high beat? Which movement and will it use and will there be any improvement to the sunken date wheel?
