Hi all
Have a look at this one.

It is a fake, right?

Perfectly real, but it's 15+ years old.

perfectly real, as Roff said. nice Old Navitimer I, case/crystal/dial seem to be in good shape, around 1991 to 1993.

The only half decent replica of a 6-9-12 layout Navitimer I have seen is the Fighters model. Even this is riddled with flaws so easy to spot.

None of the fakes are marked B13019 so any case back with this model number is a safe buy.

interesting POV from a picture. *13019 (=this one, Old Navi I) and *13022/13322 (=Old Navi II) only have minimal differences in dial design & the model II was the first to use the logo on the second hand; movement, case, bezel and back are almost identical, so probably plastic/off/thin/ cheap too ?
