Still trying to find a nice 806 at a price commensurate with condition. I find a bunch with cobbled parts, missing lume that are priced like a perfect example. This one looks pretty good to me but I am still not sure of myself (although I am learning). What do the experts think?

Absolutely a great looking Navitimer, beautiful color of the Tritium on the markers, matching color on hands and unpolished case. If there's any issues, then I can't see them.

You should go ahead and buy it if the price is right.

I previewed this watch at the auction it was in. Looked good and all functions worked. It hammered at $4250 FYI.
At the same auction was an Omega Seamaster Chrono hammered at $6500 and probably the biggest star of the auction was a Military Tornek-Rayville Dive watch from 1965, pre-auction estimate of $20-25,000 hammered at $92,500. Crikey.
