First of all sorry for first post being in the for sale section. I have this lovely Navitimer 806, original box/instructions and purchase receipt from 1967, but I'm not sure if it's earlier than 1967 or not (how can I tell?) Anyway, this is the only pic I have at the moment, I don't wear it because I'm afraid of damaging it as I'm fairly brutal with my watches lol. So, if someone wants to give me £3k for it then I'll sell it, if I'm wildly out on the price and should be asking more let me know

Can you provide the serial number or a photo of the inside of the case back? |

watch was manufactured later 1964 to 1966, but the serial will give us a precise manufacturing year for the case. watch seems to be in impressive condition and for a full set the asking price is certainly not unfair. lovely piece, GLWS ! |

Question .... I've never taken the back off this, so what's the safest way to do it? |

assuming you have no decent quality case knife (no, a regular knife isn't a good substitute), I sugg st to have a watchmaker pop it open for you. the caseback scratches easily |

sound decision. make sure to grab pics of the inside caseback w/ the serial and of the movement. |

I forgot to say, I'd be interested in a deal with a Speedmaster Pro moon watch, prefer a later one with the screws in the bracelet

Congratulations. Just out of interest, what did the serial number reveal about the year it was made? |
