Howdy! I just bought a Navitimer 806, and it has a number scratched into the caseback three times: ks0180002d. It’s pretty crude as you can see. The watch is authentic with a 995 serial # dating it to 1964 and it was authenticated by eBay. Don’t mind the numbers on the back at all. But I was gonna send it to my watchmaker, and before I do I suppose I wonder if it’s anything significant. Is it military, perhaps? Your help is appreciated.   Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Shame. Not meaningful in any way I know, but it’s not military. |

That just proof what their authentication crap is worth, the ones who I’d it obviously knew nothing about vintage Navitimers. Hour and minute hands are wrong. (And most likely 9 o’clock subdial hand too) Kurt B http://www.Kurt-b.com |

I opted for a restoration of this 806, which dates to 1964, and the work was carried out by the Heists. I am quite pleased with the results.  Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Interesting. How much was it? Can we see the caseback? |

Here’s the caseback. And the movement! As for the cost, it wasn’t inexpensive, but it made sense for me! The Heists do great work.   Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
