Hi...I have a Navitimer 806 that i purchased somewhere around 1957-1960. I only wore it once ; however I am not sure I have the original box and papers. It is in perfect condition.

Does anyone know the best way to determine a selling price and or the best place to attempt to sell it. I really love it and i hate to part with it. It brings back memories of my teenage years...its like an old friend.

Thanks.
Bob

I suspect that you purchased it after 1960, as it doesn't look like it was produced until in the 60s. The most active market is eBay and pricing on these varies considerably based on condition and history. Get some quality photos and a good description / history up on eBay and let teh market decide what it's worth. You should also ignore the low ball offers that you will receive by PM from some people here.

edit: Roff beat me to posting it .....
well, it must have been a bit later, 66 to 68 ?
best would be to watch completed ebay auctions for some time for watches in comparable condition, look for succeful sales (green prices), not BIN asking.

Is there an official date as to when the larger sub dials were introduced ?

It wasn't a change like that, it occurred over time in the second half of the 60s with both large and small being available for a while.
