A lot of people can't stand *ahem* "patina", and other signs of use (especially if those signs of use were caused by someone else), so things like darkened lume, scratch-happy plexiglass crystals, uncrisp edges to the case due to wear, etc - just won't appeal to a lot of people these days.


hmmm, can not resist. one of those wrecks on my wrist today ....

Oooooo I dunno, looks like a bit of darkened lume there Fred! :wink:

No in all seriousness, that's a very nice looking piece, and I can appreciate it for what it is, just as much as any more modern watch. (Mind you, the wear/patina on that one is very minor compared to a lot of vintage pieces out there).

So that's where my dial's waves went... You mind handing them back when you're done using'em? ;)

Very nice Fred. Btw I noticed most of the vintage Navis have greenish lumed hands though the lume on the dial is either white or has turned nicely creamy. Any idea why the difference in lume shade between the hands which look green and the dial plots? I would assume they are the same material?

mr_october if you're ever on the lookout for an adoptive son, although I'm 30, I'm available. Yet another stunning watch you have. I'm extremely jealous.
