Any one have any experience with this model? I like the look of this as it reminds me of my Omega Dynamic and I like the idea of having a quartz version. I also like the larger hands and lumed numerals, which I know is non standard. I assume this was never an issued watch?
Quartz Navigators were issued, both with lume and non lume.
Non lume are particularly rare.

Which model are you referring to? The G10 GS Sapphire?
I've occasionally thought about trying that model myself but they never seem to be in stock since they released the sapphire version.
You know I've never noticed that one has a different handset. Looks pretty cool.Quote:

Thats a nice variant.
I picked up a Sapphire a few weeks ago, with an old T dial. Really lovely watch to wear - screw down crown and fatter case.

Gerard, I sold my G10 to Johnny above as I considered it too similar to the Dynamic.
Sorry to detract the thread - but are the old T dials a different colour of black to the non issued Luminova dials. The t dials look blacker sort of ink black than the current Silverman's g10, which look well, grey or Matt black. Is this true or my eyes being deceived??Quote:

My thinking was to have a quartz backup that I was less precious about, not that I'm too precious about the Dynamic.Quote:

Please be aware it seems to wear a fair bit smaller than the Dynamic,
I think that's down to the domed sapphire crystal of the GS Sapphire pictured above, they certainly enhance the dials IMO. I've owned a good few G10's in my time and have never noticed a difference in the shade of black tbh.Quote:

I have the G10 Quartz with date and its a watch I keep coming back to.
In a collection of about 14 watches the CWC always gets wrist time. A great watch.
On my twig like wrists, that is probably a bonus. :)Quote:
