I noticed this photo recently... Upon a glance I thought perhaps it was a Top Time dial placed in an 806... But upon closer inspection it appears to be a small-subdial Navitimer dial. I've asked WatchesbySJX for more info, but have not yet gotten a response. He says it belongs to a Navitimer lover from Switzerland. Is this old news? I searched the forum but could not find anything similar. Attachment: ImageUploadedByTapatalk1423444564.168469.jpg

there is no documented "Albino" Navitimer 806 - the only example we've seen was a "prototype" offered by TheSage Michael März of youknowhatlounge and on larger pictures it was clearly identifiable as a Frankenfake; this pic is too small to say anything relevant. |

Thanks Fred. I'm intrigued by this photo because the other pieces appear to be correct. I am very curious to see more photos, but would not be surprised to learn it was homemade. Will try to get more pics. |

posted it on the timeline as well, they will probably make it out to be a prototype but its one of the famous Sage pieces we've known about for a long time https://www.facebook.com/WatchesbySJX/p ... 84/?type=1 |

Pretty impressive work, Rene, even coming from a "turn the other cheek" guy! |

Rene's trick is also a useful way to distinguish between original and service dials. Not so extreme, but same idea. That was one of the first pearls of knowledge I remember absorbing from this forum. |

You guys never cease to amaze me. Very cool step by step, especially like turning the white dial negative for easy compare. Well done! |
