After Brauner's photos of his superb Navitimer re edition, here is the vintage. Not mine, alas. 





I really regret having passed on this one, but the planets were not aligned, for me. 

A time capsule, and a true beauty. 

Best,

Nicolas

I’ve always thought it was so cool to have chunky syringe hands on a watch with ms much information.

I see your point.

Quite convincing. ;)

This is such a classic. Highly underrated IMHO.

Totally and surprisingly!

Nice, but what a busy dial!

Well, it is a Pilot's toolwatch!

Indeed. Unfortunately, I think I still have a long way to go to get to understand and love such pieces…

That will come, my friend.

Yes, or maybe it's just not for me. Time will tell.

Really great this one.

I always loved the Navitimer in pictures but I need to try one out to see how it works on my small wrist. I fear it will wear too huge on me due to the thin bezel and big dial area. But the Design is just so good and they are still surprisingly affordable... 

Yes, indeed, quite easy to do.
