New navitimer 01 with FIXED DW!

Recommended Posts

Holy fuck how did this get unnoticed!

7750 with a fixed sunken DW and correct font and shit. If it comes out in black I'll be all over this piece.

 

P.S. To fix the sunken DW apparently @3 minute counter is faux, but still much better than having recessed DW... I wish they could have disabled the hour hand instead.

Why would they do white first?

they need to disable the minute counter because the module that allows for tricompax is an extra transfer gear on top of the DW from 9 position to 3. Disabling the hour counter at 6, would do nothing as its not a blocker for the DW.

It's not the 01 Navitimer, it's the old (2003-2011) A23322 navitimer which has the ETA7753 inside (gen).

After a better look at the pics on the site, you can see that the minute counter is probably sticked directly to the dial. Second and hour subdials are a bit raised, beause they are not faux... And the seconds@9 subdial, why does it have hand with an arrow? Oh and the Chronometer second hand lacks the red arrow. What a shame, again made with too many stupid flaws...

I love how it says FULLY FUNCTIONAL Chronograph with the caveat that the minute hand doesn't function. I was really looking forward to a new and better Navi, but I don't feel like this is it. At least they fixed the slide rule. Also, I must be the only person who likes the white.

The flaws are definitely recessed minute hand on the subdial@3 (faux) because it's adhered to the dial, subdail seconds@9 have a hand that's got an arrow, and the chronograph seconds hand is missing the red arrow on the top...

On the navitimers, the subdial hands stick a bit more out as on the other watches, I bet the adhered faux minute hand looks even more horrible in person... I rather have recessed DW... And those stupid arrows...

Agreed. This was a wasted effort imo. This is a perfect example of hyperbole among the dealers when it comes to claims of "1:1".
