An unexpected arrival - Breitling 7806 Navitimer

Old Navitimers are known for this.
They were not very waterproof when new, they are even less so now, even after a service. They leak like a sieve but there are lots of holes in the case.

Then given its accuracy (only +10spd), I might wait for a bit before servicing it.

I always thought that "30m" on the back of old chronographs was the distance that one should keep them from water.

Good point!

I'd ping Paul Walker @walkerwek1958 while he's still in the game, apparently he's a bit of a Valjoux whisperer and extremely reasonably priced.

He's done a few full services for me and I've been very happy with his work.

Look very cool indeed on that sharkskin strap. What about a Rallye?

Too soon?
