After 11 years of collecting them big time, one morning you open your mailbox, and there’s a mail, offering you to buy a Navitimer with a dial you have never seen before. Non AOPA signed AOPA shield, and on top of that it’s a 54’ Valjoux 72. Unfortunately the numbers have been redone, the hands painted and the case polished. Crown and pushers have most likley been replaced as well. / Kurt B http://www.kurt-b.com

Polishing must have been really brutal, the sharp edges of the lugs aren`t there anymore ! |

Too bad about the lume, hands etc |

It doesnt state its original ? , it says "nice condition" no need to spell out every little detail that is clearly visible in the pictures (IMO) All i can say to prospective buyers is DYODD , which i am sure they will do given the prices of these They will probably find this thread as well if they research the watch |
