Any thoughts on this black 806? Thanks. The hour hand at the bottom looks a bit strange to me...and was it common for the hour numbers not to be lumed?

Well, the ad is correct, it is rare. In fact, an all black 1965 navi does not exist!
I am guessing shoe polished subdials?

It's a complete Franken. I've posted about this piece before. Case and hands are from a panda, all black dial is much earlier. I've seen several pieced together watches from this seller. Avoid

Edit: bottom subdial hand looks strange because it is the wrong shape for the dial, and it's painted white

being serious: "all black dial" would be correct in combination w/ beaded bezel and execution 1 hands; built from 1954 (in several variations) until 1963.

so dial is incorrect for a 1965 "serrated bezel" Navitimer w/ execution 2 hands.
