Apologies, just asking.

I guess the marks on the back are actually marks to the plastic cover not the case back?

What's the enblem?

I should add I didn't mean to offend anyone and I do think it's a very nice watch.

You always leave the plastic on the back if it's all original and not going to be worn. With Breitlings from the 1970's it can also be a purple/blue splotch
that's painted on. The logo was for king Hussein of Jordan.

That's a beautiful timepiece congrats Vintage, I like the 3 different sub dial hands are those special to this edition or do they occur elsewhere?.

running second is correct on Paul's watch and the OP linked one; not sure I understand what Phil and you mean about "elsewhere" ?
other Navitimers w/ this hand, or different subdial hands ?

For me , Navi 7806 has been fitted either with the "arrow" small second hand as illustrated in B catalog , or with a "stick" small second hand similar to chrono subdial hands. Both are correct .

Just wondered why the three sub-dials use different style hands? If the watch is NOS, then it left the factory like that. Was this done on purpose or was it a mistake? If on purpose, do any other Navi's/chrono's use three different style hands on the sub-dials?

Apologies if it sounded like I was doubting that the hands were right, it's a bit of a task getting your head around all the different models for a newbie like me :roll: but it is also a very enjoyable pastime.
