.....all cramming into one thread!

Picked up my long awaited Navitimer 125e along with an impulse buy for a Mont Blanc pen to replace my ageing Shaeffeur that keeps breaking. Haven't had the Navitimer long enough or even worn it long enough to comment but all I can say is that it lived up to my expectations completely :mrgreen:

Am having second thoughts on the pen as it doesn't come with a pump for bottled ink. The ones that do however do not look as good :(

The collection:

That's quite a collection and some really nice shots too.
What's the watch in the upper right area of the case above the 125th Navi ?

Thank you!

The watch in question is just a cheap was (around £25) that I got back in my school days. You press a button on the top and the front flips up! My baby nephew loved it back in the day lol.

Great pics, and a fantastic collection.

Those are the first wrist shots that I've seen of the Navi 125. I'm curious to hear what your thoughts are on the Air Racer bracelet.

I'm surprised myself that there aren't any more photos of the 125e on the forum :poke:

At first I was concerned that the solid shape would prove to be uncomfortable, as conventional bracelets curve round following the shape of your wrist. However when I wore it after it had been adjusted, it feels VERY comfortable. All you feel is the back of the watch against your wrist and the clasp, you can't really feel the sides at all. Perhaps its because I have small wrists. Looks great though :wink:

Nice collection ! I like the Omega's they are starting to grow on me? Great shots of the Navi bracelet, always wondered how it was adjusted to fit?

I have been intrigued by the Navi bracelet since the first time I viewed pics of it online and am suprised that there are less owners on this forum (unless of course there are several that have not listed pics or I have missed them!).

I REALLY like the bracelet. Totally different to my normal taste in bracelets, but wow - having seen it on your wrist I am a big fan! :o

Thanks for all of the gorgeous photos. Especially the ones of the Navitimer 125e, and the first decent photos I have seen of the Air Racer bracelet - and in all the glorious detail you provided! I would think that a lot of us would be very grateful for those photos. I actually have a new respect for the Air Racer bracelet now that I have finally seen it on a live wrist! I did reserve my judgement and am glad I did, it really looks to be quite an outstanding piece. A classic watch and I would think heirloom material.
Cheers,
Carl
