This little 1969 ref 810 has found me and should be arriving next week. The 810 has the Venus 178 movement same as the Navitimer. Running but needs a little Chronodeco tlc.

AOPA Top Time, very nice, and a lot more affordable than a comparable Navitimer. Another great pickup Paul.

Nice catch. One of the best toptimes out there, with the rarer dial to boot.

The Top Time came in yesterday and has been keeping spot on time. Now needs to go to Craig for a new crystal and maybe a polish. Pusher cap is a little loose too. The dial is awesome. Put it on a new 19mm Hirsch lizard strap w/Breitling deployment buckle.

That really is a nice piece Paul, as jlee5050 says, you certainly find some great pieces.

Sometimes you get lucky. This one just showed up from Spain. Not exactly vintage but probably from the early 90's. I have a black Sinn croc style strap coming from Germany for it. This Hirsch Liberty is one thick strap and not exactly suited for the watch.
