I would like to get the blessings of the vintage experts on this.
Thank you.

Quick look (will sanity check later), but it looks fine to me.

A little late fro rice bezel, all black, but nothing wrong with it that I can see.

The only thing missing seems to be a front on full dial photo.

Had that one on my watch list for a while. Nice piece.

Thanks for the input guys. It's from my birth year so I was kind of interested. I don't know how high it will go. I would expect much higher but I thought I might take a stab at it.

Again thanks to both of you. :)

Is the case back signature in the correct place and correct (outside case back signature is down near the 806)?

Different on the 18k watches than the stainless steel. This one looks ok although on 18k they seem not to have any particular normal location.

Nice piece!

quick question...

Was that the first year of the 809?

809 (24 hour dial) was made during 1961 with 806 ref.
1962 it changes the ref in 809.

We're turning you into a vintage expert bnewbie!

To really confuse things the early ones were also simply called Navitimers.
