I'm getting ready to send my Olympus in for service. I'll let you know what they charge at Swiss Watch Repair in Florida. They are a Breitling service center. I just don't want to wait several weeks for BUSA to get it back to me.

BTW, I have a very old swiss grand complication pocket watch and the calendar is also in French.

Very nice. I regret selling my silver dial to part fund my Navi B01 (which turned out to be a pile of sh..)

But my black dial Olympus says Hi!

Hey Stefan, is your Navi 01 fixed?

I'm really happy with timekeeping on my Olympus. I monitored it for around 30 hours and it didn't win or lose a second. I'm going to monitor it this week to see if that changes. I'm a happy camper.

They replaced it with a brand new one in the end but unfortunately by that time I'd fallen out of love with it so I sold it and eventually picked up my grail black dial Olympus.

Mine could do with a service and a new crystal as it's not keeping COSC and there's a couple of tiny hairlines in the coating on the crystal (why can't all owners be as anal and careful as me....?).

Would never part with mine now though.

I got a few hairlines too, although they only show with heavy lighting. I can do with that for 3 years. The case is almost perfect. Just need that croc!

Yeah I was. I've reigned that in a little now. A niec Navi Plympus like yours would do me a treat these days. Congrats again.
