 Dbruins, check out the Steinhart Nav B. I don't think Debaufre' carries the Nav-Bs anymore. Steinhart has  "gold plated" hands and rotor and really looks nice. You can also check out Azimuth as well as Stowa and Archimede.

I think the first Pilots that were issued had black dials thus the homages and re-issues came out in black. 

It takes a little bit of time to get used to the Big Pilots on your wrist (about 3 to 5 seconds subtlelaugh.gif) but once you've slapped them on, you'll find a reluctance to remove them. The onion-shaped, bulbous crown is a distinction of the Big Pilot. It simply has to be there at that size.

Hope this helps.
