redwatch Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 For the Navi builders out there, what is the installation order? I am really confused how this thing goes together. I noticed that underneath the slide rule there are three small screws holding the bezel/sliderule assembly down to the case. Is that supposed to be removed and is the movement/dial supposed to load in from the top? Any direction or info would be greatly appreciated!!

sneed12 Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 Uhh... it goes together the same way it came apart... In the immortal words of the Haynes manual, "assembly is the reverse of removal." Movement goes in the back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't appear as though the dial fits thru the back so it seems unlikely that the movement and dial assembly goes in that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolexman Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 First slide rule. Than dial and movement. The navi is not a front loader. You can install the crystal, bezel and slide rule the best all at once, as they are one piece. In that case you press the assembly on from the front.

andreww Posted June 25, 2012 Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 Post pics Red. Are you sure all the pieces are from the original watch? Its not a gen dial is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dial I am playing with may very well be a gen. I got it as a part of the kit. That could explain the issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andreww Posted June 25, 2012 Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 That would be the obvious answer. The gen dial is about 1mm too big and needs to be shaved to fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That could explain the issue. Can w still see pics? Where did you get the kit I have been waiting for a decent one to come up FS. That would be the obvious answer. The gen dial is about 1mm too big and needs to be shaved to fit. Andrew, please sell me one of your Navis, your the Navitimer king. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolexman Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 Come on Red. This is nothing like you. Posting a thread and not returning to it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redwatch Posted June 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 Sorry guys. I am waiting for my camera battery to charge so I can snap some pics of the case set. Come on Red. This is nothing like you. Posting a thread and not returning to it I finally found a gen 2892 movement with a DD Chrono module that fits my Navitimer Spatiographe dial. I have a lot of work ahead of me, but the biggest hurdle seems to have been overcome. In the meantime, I have been playing with the case set with a few regular Navi dials, but it seems as though all the dials I have are gen. All of them are too big to fit through the case from the bottom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redwatch Posted June 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 Gen dials don't fit without modding unfortunately The big question is, can the case be modified instead of the dial? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
