Don't much like that brown calf with the black dial - may be better with a gold croco or the black calf you have on order.

The watch itself is beautiful. Love the "valjoux" layout - feels more balanced to my eye.

Having spent a little time with this particular watch but never taking off the bracelet, there is an almost-vintage feel to some of the accent colors, the silver-ish white and particularly the gold wings, that should work well with the brown. I do agree the gold like Tom just bought could really make it pop, but I admit I'm most excited to see that piece on a black strap. And I agree with Ian--the dial layout is my favorite. That, with the brushed finish, make it a great piece. Looking great, Terry.

Don't discount the black calf. Sometimes I think it is a better look on a Navi than the black croco. Just makes the dial pop. Black is the way to go, no doubt.

Says the guy who changed out the black alligator for the bracelet 1/2 hour ago!

Yeah, thinking of a black calf myself. Croc looks just a little too formal and not enough of an 'original' pilot look for me.

Had a brown calf left over so thought I would try it for now.

Thanks for comments.

Depends though... The alligator has more nuances than the calf, making for a more balanced look (considering the finely detailed navi dial)... Here's an example:

I also prefer the 6,9, 12 subs configuration on the Old Nav II. Aesthetically it "balances" the pushers/crown better than the tricompax configuration IMO. I love the "stick" markers on the dial but I like these Arabics better because they are the same as the Cossie and they are not "cut off" like the larger Arabics on later Navi's...
Best,
Ron







and for something completely different...

Looks pretty good Terry, even with the black dial/brown strap thing going on. I agree though that a black calf would look awesome.

Watch looks fantastic on the wrist!

Agree with the arabics design, like them better than the batons on the Navitmer - more pilot look for me. The thing I do like about this layout is the quick-set date vs. the 23322 setup.

Fully lumed arabics are the way to go - Ron, great piece! Black calf looks good.

Thanks Tim, still working on black calf.

This will satisfy the 1903 itch .
