Afternoon chaps,

I've just bought myself a 2013 Navitimer World with black sub-dials from Mark Worthington in Wilmslow this week after a period without a decent watch due to an expensive 5 yo boy!
It has a tan strap with clasp as the original owner preferred it to the black one that was on it.

I then decided l wanted the bracelet and had a bright idea... :shock:

I saw an Old Navitimer on eBay with bracelet but no box/papers had a long discussion with the owner and decided he could be trusted and he agreed to invoice me via PayPal to protect me as well, l paid £2000 for it which l thought was cheap given the condition

The serial number is 20517 the model number is A13019 can you chaps tell me the age please?

Thanks

probably/hopefully authentic, an "Old Navitimer", produced before 1993.
bracelet endlinks will not fit.

To replace the end links with the right end links, which will be harder than finding the right bracelet - bracelet end links are unique to the model, you can't interchange them. If you can get out of this purchase I would do so, without seeing the watch GBP2,000 is way too much.
