Finally decided to dig this one out of the safe and share it here. I have not worn it in at least 7 years. I bought my Nav from the original pilot owner who lived on Vancouver Island in Canada for $780 on ebay 12 years ago. Even back then it was already a recognized collector watch. Like the car mechanic who never gets time to work on his own car, I need to do a couple repairs on this one. At lease I changed out the incorrect crytal that I put in it 12 years ago. Glad I decided to keep this it. |
