Hi, thought would be great to see pics of your vintage Navitimers. Please specify year and model so that we can appreciate the visual differences between them! |

security reasons ? Or just not wanting to show off ? anyway , here's a few of mine. Some in these pics were sold over the last months (the AVI pictured and the SO 2005 pictured) but I have added another 765 AVI and am sending off a SO 2005 for restoration to Craig soon .

I have never understood what the differences are between the 2 other than the build date , the AVI's are typically pre 1966 , and the CP's post 1966 but there are great watches and they came with , as far as I know, 3 different bezels: polished, black and the one on that I bought recently (see below) but they were originally Water tight , screw back as opposed to the Navi and Cosmo press backs . The minute counter dial is slightly bigger than the other 2 sub dia;s which makes for a very interesting watch dial here's the one I bought recently viewtopic.php?f=11&t=34352 with a different bezel |

I am supposed to be buying a Triumph Tiger 1050 in the new year I've already put it back 3 months while I sort my Navi out, at this rate if I keep on looking on these Forums I'll never get back on two wheels |

Love all of them, René, though the one I love most will probably surprise you. Not a Navitimer, not an AVI or Co-Pilot, the SuperOcean Chrono 807 is just wonderful ! Should you find the time to post some more pics of this I would be great. talk about rare .... look what just landed on my desk, goes nicely with that watch for your daughter:  any airline history buffs reading this ? I seem to remember a french??? airline called UTI in the 70s/80s, does anybody know more ? |
