Hi folks,

I'm hoping you could help me really quick. I just purchased this Navitimer for a great price but I'm concerned about font of the numbers on the subdials... something seems a little "off." It might be my imagination. Aside from that, everything else looks legit (correct subdial placements, non-fake serial #, correct hands, no sunken date window, etc).

https://www.ebay.com/itm/224858959392

I'm hoping to get validation before I submit payment for the watch.

Thank you!

Whoops, I meant that I'm concerned about the font of the numbers around the bezel, not the subdials. Sorry!

For instance, look at the "80" number around the bezel. The gap between the 8 and the 0 appears to be smaller than usual. Also, the font of the "3" in the "30" seems thinner than usual.

Hi all, just following up. I’m hoping someone can take a quick look at the eBay pics and provide me with validation as to whether or not this piece is genuine. Thanks again.
