Did you put the correct link? The 809 is a Cosmonaut from 1962+

I'll let others comment on the watch you have linked to, and I can't read the description, but a 809 is a Cosmonaut with a 24hr dial, this is a 806 Navitimer which has a 12hr dial, this isn't a 809. The 809 Cosmonaut wasn't made until 1962.

bullhead, the watch you link to is a Navitimer 806, not a Cosmonaute, not a 809.

hands are very incorrect

actually one of the higher praises René and I give to our watches; yes, it is among the better surviving examples.

rather leave the hyperbole to others.
