I have a Precista & the chrono is stunning & a classic shape but that Fatboy Navigator is something I've coveted for years.
Great trio, well done.
The rest are great too !

Very jealous, hoping to get a 80 fat boy soon. I'd love a Navigator but I only collect W10's so unfortunately it's a no go.
A Precista would fit in my collection nicely too
If it's not too intrusive a question, what's the going rate for a 1981 Fat Case Navigator, nowadays?
I sold one of the non-date G10 models in 2008 for $90. The Navigator date versions are harder to find, though.
I also have a thin cased Precista from 1984. I believe they were only produced in that single year, and 1600 were made/issued. Mine is also a 6BB, I don't know if they all were.
F.T.F.A.
Fantastic collection but that chrono does it for me.
That sounds like a good week's work to me. If you don't mind my asking, where in the world did you unearth that BBC chrono?
I have one too... based on the research I did when I acquired mine, you are correct: The '84 Precistas were all 6BB numbered. I also have an '82 Precista, which was the only other year that a G10-style Precista was issued. That one has a much fatter case and is numbered W10, as I believe they all were. Two different branches ordering a batch of watches in two different years, is the best explanation I've heard.
So the '82 and '84 which I have are correctly marked? That's good to hear!
All 3 were from eBay... I check regularly for certain items, obviously Precista & CWC are easily found with patience but the chrono was listed as 'C W C', not 'CWC', I think I just happened to drop lucky with it. Ive found that I find more interesting pieces when I'm looking for something completely different!
I must admit I'm intrigued by the BBC markings, the isn't a lot of info about these online

Well done Ian, I found the auction listing and may I say you did quite well for yourself!
Is that Navigator S/N 913/81? I can't quite read the first digit.
Mine is 935/81
Congrats! That's a good looking piece and it went for a reasonable price 👍
Nice taste :)
Big fan of the navigator, a very hard one to find.
