Hello all,

I recently purchased a Navitimer world from a "grey dealer" for a huge discount. Everything looks great on the watch however i notice on the clasp, the inside of the clasp and the inside of the fold over flip are not polished, but instead a matte brushed finish....

Is this normal? ill try to get pictures asap.


Thank you all for your replies!

Welcome aboard.
Inside should be brushed, but post a photo of the watch and bracelet to be sure.

Here are some pics. Everything seems to be very good quality and polished, the only 2 things i noticed were that the fold over was not high polished on the inside, nor was the inside of the actual clasp itself. More of a matte brushed finish. You can see my fingerprint smudge on the inside on the clasp. Also i though the clasp would be a little thicker as well.

Let me know your opinions!


Thanks again!
