It looks Nav to me and might be from my old Datora, what do you think?

Thanks

If it's Navi then presumably there are pieces missing. What's the total width, that will help establish if it is a partial Navi link rather than a Pilot.

Nav should have 7 segments. No?
This looks more like Pilot to me.

It can't be partial Navi, the segments are thinner on the Navi then on Pilot. 5 Navi segments would not fill the full length of the shafts that hold them together, unless they are not screwed together in the picture but just "posing" neatly together to make them look like they are screwed together.

Right, hence why I asked what the width was. Can't see from that photo whether they are attached or just aligned.

No probs Roff, not challenging you, even though it may have read like it perhaps.
Just adding some clarity to our thinking ;-)

Thank you chaps, you are both right.
Looking at it now I see it is missing 'a' piece (damn I hate losing stuff!).

If it's Navi then it's missing 2 pieces - 7 links wide.

Then it's a pilot bracelet - no Navitimer bracelet would be that wide (28mm by the time you had 7 links). Don't forget that way back when Navitimers used Pilot bracelets before the Navitimer was introduced.

It is in fact complete just missing the screws.
