Hi all, I'm looking at buying a Navitimer as my next watch but can't choose between these three styles.

Which would you say looks best?

I think my favourite is this one: http://www.dexclusive.com/Breitling_BRE ... 35-LT.html looks more serious.
But then the world steel version does look pretty cool: http://www.jomashop.com/breitling-navit ... -433x.html
Or I could really push the boat out and go for the special edition 18ct gold Navitimer: http://www.globalwatchmarket.com/Watch. ... 85281.aspx

What do you think? Would the gold one be just a bit too showy?

Having an old navitimer myself, I'd say take the gold old navitimer everytime! if I had the cash I'd have had mine in gold too, and imo it's not too flash if its on a strap, might be a bit much if it were on a bracelet.

Your first choice (3-6-9, black dial, batons, black leather strap) is the classic Navitimer and would also be my first choice.

Only consideration is to bear in mind if you thing you'd like both a strap and a bracelet, it's cheaper to buy the watch with the Navi bracelet and buy a leather strap later than the other way round. You won't get much of a discount when buying straps/bracelets.

Whichever you get, don't forget the pics!

My choice would be the white dialed World on the bracelet & I would also try and get the black "croco" strap for a different look. But...

You have to get what sits best on your wrist.

That World is awesome. Only love the white though for that model. for this group, i like the World, but if the World was black, i'd pick the 3-6-9 navi.
