Howdy! I just bought a Navitimer 806, and it has a number scratched into the caseback three times: ks0180002d.

It’s pretty crude as you can see. The watch is authentic with a 995 serial # dating it to 1964 and it was authenticated by eBay.

Don’t mind the numbers on the back at all. But I was gonna send it to my watchmaker, and before I do I suppose I wonder if it’s anything significant. Is it military, perhaps? Your help is appreciated. Image

Shame. Not meaningful in any way I know, but it’s not military.

That just proof what their authentication crap is worth, the ones who I’d it obviously knew nothing about vintage Navitimers.
Hour and minute hands are wrong. (And most likely 9 o’clock subdial hand too)

I opted for a restoration of this 806, which dates to 1964, and the work was carried out by the Heists. I am quite pleased with the results. Image

Interesting. How much was it? Can we see the caseback?

Here’s the caseback. And the movement! As for the cost, it wasn’t inexpensive, but it made sense for me! The Heists do great work. Image
