I would have bought it for already if it wasn't for that badly mangled lug. I don't think that can be repaired to where it wouldn't show.

I came across this Navitimer 806 in 18K. I would appreciate your input regarding its correct-ness. Let me know what you guys think. |

Looks all correct and very nice. I hope it comes with a movement. |

I usually don't like gold watches, but even I would wear this one. Looks pretty good. I think the gentle diffusion on the battens and the 12, as it suits this watch. The photos are careful not to show the lugs above 12, so I would be concerned by this. The pin on the bottom right hand lug is bent, and although thats not necessarily a show stopper, it does lead me to wonder what’s happening elsewhere. Are there any more pics somewhere? Dial is very clean. Is that a concern! |

I don't see anything wrong with what I see, but as Bill suggests the movement would be good to see. |

Granted, a movement shot would be good, but a full reveal of the case would remove any speculation as well. |

Yes, it needs to find the right buyer. |

Would buy with those photos and a movement shot, would not buy if I could see the tiny bit of case missing but no movement. Pretty sure that no one else in the market for it would be concerned about the case either. |

Well it seems that this is a well known piece to many of us  . Opinion of a local jeweller was that he could restore the shape but that there would be some colour variation. Not sure whether all jewellers could do that, my guy is very good - he made this from just a drawing:
