What The Hell I Was Thinking?


By-Tor

Recommended Posts

Well... my Navi hasn't been getting a lot of wrist time lately (due to my new purchases PO, TAG, etc.) and I was thinking when I saw the new Navitimer and Bentley models that I should get one too. I was approached by a fellow member and I already said that he could get mine for XXX$. You know how it is... hardcore rep-a-holics always jump to the bandwagon and start desiring after the newest model. :lol:

Then I put it on my wrist and thought: "No way I'm gonna trade this... what the hell I was thinking?" Subdials look shiny on the oversized pictures, too big date font... so what, who gives a shit! The "feel" of this watch just screams quality and the 12-9-6 version is running like a champ after 14+ months. It's always an easy Swiss ETA movement swap with this particular arrangement... and besides: I already have a "bond" with this watch. So it'll stay. :thumbsupsmileyanim:

By-Tor,

Very nice and I don't blame you for hanging on ot this one. Who's model is this and do you happen to know if it is still available? Is this the older model Navitimer?

Thanks...

It's the older one. You can always spot the older ones by the fact the Slide-Rule lines up perfectly.
