  1. OK read the whole thread, very informative. Question though, numerous times in this thread people mention about the slide rule bezel not aligning. Does that mean the rotating bezel is supposed to have clicks.

    I just got my first Rep from Trusty Time a White Face Navitimer World and the bezel rotates smooth no clicks. So I'm just wondering.

    No, it should slide smoothly, yours is fine.

    The issue is with the slide rule not aligning with the markings on the dial. Difficult to explain but basically the two pieces with the line markers physically don't match up. This is used to do mathmatical calculations (for pilots originally).

    The equivalent of taking a calculator and rewiring the number 5 button to be a 3... all your sums would be wrong!

  2. Saw this in a junk shop cabinet. I'm assuming it is a cheap replica but I can't find any true Tudor that looks like this. Maybe a fantasy?

    Sorry for the poor photo, it was right at the back of the cabinet! Only other thing I can tell you is it had a quartz movement judging by the movement of the second hand.

  3. 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!

    Hi Andrew,

    That sounds very interesting!

    What sort of timeframe are we looking at?

    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?
