thats a real Navitimer movement and is correct for the watch but I agree the bottom subdial hand looks like an incorrect replacement


price estimate ?
do a global search on Ebay for "806 Navitimer" and see what these sell for , I would think between 1250 - 1750 GBP based on condition



Agreed, but would also like to know the serial number - I can't quite read it and it looks like it might be a bit different to what I would expect.

Do you mean the number on the outside of the case, ( 1223327 ), or the number etched on the inside of the case.

That's the number that I meant. I thought that the 2nd and 3rd digits were 8s which made no sense. That number dates to 1968, I would have guessed 1967, but I'm fine with 68 as well.

If you don't need to sell it, get it serviced, get all your research and opinions from the pro's on these sites documented, put it in a cupboard until the economy picks up (5 - 10 yrs ish) I have bought an identical model to you but yours looks in better nick than mine "1969 Navitimer just bought" consider changing the strap, leather ones around £140ish from an AD. I think the red box on the face and the sliderule make this quite rare and therefore perhaps more sought after for a 4rth Gen Navi.

It's a lovely looking watch with a great history, there are some very learned fellows on here who will help you and good luck with which ever way you go


Going off the sometimes heated discussions that appear on this brilliant board I thought I had better apologise :oops: for this old comment of mine, I can see now how it could have raised your suspicions. It was made in innocence as I am documenting the restoration of my watch so that it has a history to pass on to my son.

Thanks Phil AKA Supermoto

No problem with your comments, everyone is entitled to his/her opinion, that's what forums are all about.
I think the watch will come up for sale soon, (not my decision), but of the family member that currently has ownership, they just need to settle on a figure that would buy it, I have tried to help as much as possible regarding that subject, but as people have said, it's quite difficult, just depends what someone is willing to pay I suppose, but at a guess I think it will be up for around the £1500 mark, or a decent offer near to that figure.
Will let you know for sure once a decision is made.
