love your 806 on mesh !
great pictures you've added - especially the one of Scott Carpenter, on a day he's remembered by many; Scott has passed away yesterday; a great guy, he'll be missed.

was always one of my favorite watches I place it in my mind in same category as Rolex Submariner Omega Speedmaster or TAG Monaco something that is genuine characteristic of brand and standing test of time Thank you very much for this amazing reference pos...
Damian, happy you liked the journey !
By: WatchFred : September 28th, 2013-05:30
it is quite an icon, not many early 1950s designs have shown this longevity; I too see it "up there" with the Speedie and the Sub, would add the Memovox. should you want to go the "vintage road" and choose a vintage Navi, let me have a virtual look at the...
Much appreciated dear Fred

I've always had an affinity for the early Navitimers, and you posted some beauties. Enjoyed the history lesson quite a bit. Darren
Excellent post on the Navitimer
By: ED209 : September 28th, 2013-19:12
My favorite Breitling's are the Old Navitimer II around late 1990's with the date at the 3 o'clock position. Great post WatchFred, thanks for all the wonderful pics from your collection. Regards, ED-209
Sorry to be late to this party
By: Ubik : October 10th, 2013-10:10
A great collection of Navi's Fred. It won't surprise you to know my favourite is the 1955 all black dial. Yours is in gorgeous condition. What a stunner! I always think these early Navi's don't get the sort of love they deserve, compare them to say the ob...
I know
By: Jorge116.039 : October 15th, 2013-10:16
I want it the VC overseas Chrono, and I couldn't justify keeping both so I swap it. This Navi has a unique complication though is not an annual and is not a perpeteual. It's a 4 year calendar (1461) Very convenient, although legibility is not the best. An...
