In an inside-out kind of way - well played!
Very cool piece. Plenty of things to keep you interested in there. Congrats.

Re: Grail watch arrived
Great bit of man maths application. I think the Sinn Navitimer often gets overlooked behind the Breitling version.
How are you getting on with sourcing the bracelet?

I ordered the bracelet from Sinn so it should be with me soon. Dealing with German companies is simplicity itself.Bahnstormer_vRS wrote: ↑Wed May 05, 2021 1:17 pm Great bit of man maths application. I think the Sinn Navitimer often gets overlooked behind the Breitling version.

Re: Grail watch arrived
It is in fact historically a Nav by any other name. Sinn have been able to sell this as when the original Breitling company went out of business in the late seventies, Helmut Sinn bought the Navitimer parts and proceeded to produce the Navitimer under the Sinn banner (as the 903) and they have continued to do so till the present - probably much to the disgruntlement of the current Breitling company who relaunched the Nav less than a decade later when the company was resurrected. The Sinn is 41mm - most, but not all, Navs are larger than that, some considerably so.Amor Vincit Omnia wrote:Interesting - definite Nav vibe. Congratulations.
