Hey guys, I need help choosing my next watch. I've narrowed it down to a Navi(world, monty datora, legende) or Bentley GT . Which should I get? Thanks

Well, you have to make the final decision yourself - you're the one who'll be wearing the watch. However, I was in kind of the same situation a while back (chose between the Navi World and Leende) and in the end I went with the Legende. Both of them were much nicer in real life than I had expected from pictures of them, and even if the World "clicked" the Legende "clicked" even more.

Likewise, I narrowed it down to legende or world and in the end, the world won it....make sure you try both on before deciding...they are both stunning

Like aleister, I went with the Legende and don't regret it for a second - it's a great watch!

If you can pull off the Legende, I'd go for that. The Bentley GT comes in a close second for me though.

do you guys find that the legend limits you to the strap choices? The are about the same size?

Well my Legende is TT, so it's not an issue for me.

I have other watches on strap, I have other watches on bracelets, so to me it's not really an issue. If you think that you will want to swap out then obviously that's not an option with the Legende, but it didn't factor in to my decision.

The Legend is a very nice watch and I think the Navtimer is best on the braclet. I have been looking for a World. I do not have a GMT movement in my collection, and the size are factors for me on this one.
