Vintage Navitimer Chronology: A must read collectors guide for Navitimer hunters

For those interested in adding vintage Navitimers to your collection, here's must read research on Vintage Navitimers by a respected Navitimer researcher/collector, Kurt Broendum, who also published his research in the British Horological Society Journal some months ago, enjoy!

And whist we are at it, do post pictures of your vintage Navitimers!

Here's my only vintage Navitimer, a 1955 pre 806 Valjoux 72 AOPA Navitimer, made for about 1 year in 54-55 with the Valjoux 72 for http://www.aopa.org/ and that lead to the Navitimer line being a great Pilots favourite. This first series is also called the Broendum Breitling, for Kurts research on Navitimers!
