806 AOPA all black are terrific and not common, I have this photo of our common friend Noddia on my wrist, watch belonging to an italian collector. An uncommon early Valjoux version.
This Mathey Tissot - a pleasure to look at !.. These Chronos have their own spell ! :)
Somehow . . .
. . . I am not surprised.
Those pilots chronos are identifiably you, Matt.

unexpected
looking at Vacheron and Patek since sometimes now, forgot about toolwatches... and then this all in a sudden 
:) who thought
...you would have gone for a "simple" steel Patek some years ago 
cheers

Not a fan of Navitimers, but this one, my friend, is GORGEOUS!
Please post more pics of it, in HoMe.
All the best.
AND BRAVO!
Nicolas
Thank you my friend
Review will come on HoMe but I need to translate and adapt all I have written. It will take some time, be patient my friend
I love Navitimers since a long time. But I am not a big fan of panda versions. On the contrary, all the first "all black AOPA" are gorgeous to my eyes. The one I prefer amond the iconic trio "Dayto"/"Speed"/"Navi" , just personnal taste.
So even if you are "not a navitimer boy" and if I "love navitimers" we may agree on the one we like in the end
. As an all black Cosmonaute, this one is quite special moreover, I will explain.
I hope I will make you change your mind on Navitimers when you'll see it in the flesh. Like you did to me about Fifty Fathoms . I recall looking at fifty on the web, and even if I could understand the history, I didn't find anything special on photos... but it was on the web... haven't seen one for real... they do not appear "at every street corner"...
And then I met you I think it was the first or the second time, and you showed me a Fifty... ho god what did you do! what a blast!
What a terrific toolwatch in the flesh, so beautiful, it makes sense all in a sudden.

I saw a few like yours, and I surprised myself to love them.
Like you, I am not a big fan of the panda version.
But this one!
You are always welcome in Paris. I have to show you the growing family of vintage FFs!
All the best,
Nicolas
you mean all black Navi?

. . . and more in keeping . . .
. . . with the actual purpose of the watch, as a tool for pilots.
You're not so mysterious after all ;-) . . .
Add the fact that there are not many ( to say the least ) 24 hours Chronos! [nt]
No message body
Ah, I see! Rarity + utility = desirability . . .
. . . in Dr Mamadu's pharmacy ;-) . . .
I'm surprised that when it comes to these two..
size doesn't matter.
Happy Easter!

Hey Fernando.....
.....yep...my PAM 36 surprises me in the same way. I tend to like watches at 40mm or less...ideally 38mm or so. My PAM 36 is much bigger....but it doesn't seem to matter
