This little 1969 ref 810 has found me and should be arriving next week. The 810 has the Venus 178 movement same as the Navitimer. Running but needs a little Chronodeco tlc.

AOPA Top Time, very nice, and a lot more affordable than a comparable Navitimer. Another great pickup Paul. |

Nice catch. One of the best toptimes out there, with the rarer dial to boot. |

The Top Time came in yesterday and has been keeping spot on time. Now needs to go to Craig for a new crystal and maybe a polish. Pusher cap is a little loose too. The dial is awesome. Put it on a new 19mm Hirsch lizard strap w/Breitling deployment buckle.

That really is a nice piece Paul, as jlee5050 says, you certainly find some great pieces. |

Not exactly vintage but probably from the early 90's. I have a black Sinn croc style strap coming from Germany for it. This Hirsch Liberty is one thick strap and not exactly suited for the watch.
