What model is this? Is it a fake? I cant find any info on Olympus without Arabic numerals, this one looks much better in my opinion. Hated the choped off numerals on the standard model.

Also anyone own the Olympus? Any problems? Seems like a very complicated movement.

I might get the non-numeral version instead of my intended World due to some unsettling reviews. Thanks for any help!!!

Right!! Thanks.

Big mistake going for the Arabics, the original design was much much nicer.

I like the newer two-tone dial though... makes it look more distinctive from the regular Navitimer..

Yeah but still those chopped Arabics :?

So is that model even avilable anymore? I would like to get it in that exact color combo.

The Montbrilliant Olympus comes in Silver (white), Blue, and Black dials, or Rose gold w/ Silver dial.

It looks rather small on my wrist. I tried one on while on vacation. It's only 42.10 mm.

Your pic looks like a Navi 1461 to me - hence the more standard Navi bezel. I personally prefer it to the current version. Really like the 1461/52 as well where the moon-phase dial is replaced with a 52 week dial instead.

Which model is the Navi 1461? I guess I should go back and check my Chronologs here.. I thought the Montbrillant 1461 was replaced by the Olympus... both had the same bezel as the Navitimer initially.. if its wrong, I need to fix the site!

At any rate I should put in the new Olympus.

Okay just looked it up guys, there's two models.. on is the Navitimer Olympus, and one is the Montbrillant Olympus. This one is the Navitimer Olypmus... I'll add the montbrillant later :)
