I traded this:

Honestly IMO, I think financially you got a better trade with the 765... LUCKY YOU~!!

they're both great watches, but on average the co-pilot will sell for a tad bit more than the C-Matic Navi's... Nice come up~!

And trust me... I am quite taken with the co-pilot also... :D

just waiting for the right moment and the right piece...

You just traded a $1500-$1800 Chrono-matic for a $3000-$4500 Co Pilot (I sold mine for $3500). Good swap! :lingsrock:

Usually the dealer I traded with has crazy high prices on watches - the price on this was almost too good to be true. I don't think he knew exactly what he had. Lucky me!

Technically it's a Copilot Yachting model and they're really tough to find. Come in a few different configurations.

I guess a "tad bit more" is an understatement... :oops:

I would've assumed the Navi versions of the c-matic are a bit more than the regular c-matics though... surprising to hear Paul's price assessment...

Oh joy it would be if I could pick up a Navi c-matic for in between 15 to 18 hundy... it seems everyone wants more for them... :(

Nevertheless to the OP, he came up big on that deal~! Perhaps his dealer's got another one to trade? :?: :lol: :wink:

Actually the navi chronomatic was a watch I purchased about a hear and a half ago off of ebay. I paid $1450 for it. When I received it, I'd realized the hands were not right, and the bottom pusher was incorrect. Very good replacements, though. Talk about an impulse buy... The picture I posted of the c-matic was a pic I pulled off the net for comparison purposes.

And no - I dont think he has another :D : :lol:

Aesthetically I like the one you originally had more, but then again I'm not into vintage watches. Financially it seems like you made a pretty good deal from what everyone is saying though. Good luck with it.
