and since you asked...imo the under $200. version offered by Samson on eBay shown in Nicks link would be the perfect pilot for cost alone in comparison to the WWW version since they are both Chinese and use the same movement aaand....more than likely the exact same watches from the exact same origins......hand6.gif
just a side note:....it's only a matter of time before WWW is contacted by Richmont Group/IWC for using their well known pilots dial... since they claim being in the U.S.A it leaves WWW open for suit to cease production...
..DeBaufre was sued over just this and forced/decided to stop producing the Nav-B in lieu of spending a gang of $$$$ to fight it ....the DeBaufre Nav-B has become collectible just because of this imo....and yes you are hearing this for the 1st time here on 3T...
...you may ask why was DeBaufre sued when everyone uses this dial?...well if you are a watch company in the U.S.A certain rights regarding infringement are enforced by law opposed to countries like Singapore or Germany where you can't get sued over copying a watch design or dial.
