I bought a Top Time from this seller last year. If you are NICE and make friends with her you can probably get a deal. I did!!

Thank you Fred and Wayne Jr. Its a very nice piece. Trying to gauge the collectibility of Sprints; I love the dial on it. Watching a few Navitimers right now plus need to find components to make my 1971 806 is order:

What do you guys think about the replacement parts?
-slide rule from Bill S.

Far from an original, but I'll try to do it justice.

Thanks!!

I sold that Sprint to them about a year or so ago. It was probably the roughest one I've had. I won't deal with that seller again.

a resounding "no" regarding those parts, though I like Lester a lot, that dial is a botched attempt - as he openly admits.

Thanks Fred; What about the slide rule?

I'm kind of on the fence on that dial; I've seen a few of the "correct" ones sell on ebay, but they are rare. I may go with this one temporarily until I find the correct one; just to get rid of what I have in there now. I plan to keep this watch long term so I can patiently wait for the parts to show up. To be honest I like the hunt for these parts... :)
