Hi,

I am in the market for a pre owned Breitling and I have narrowed it down to a Navitimer World or a Bentley GT. It would be a daily wearer. What would you choose and why?

Thanks in advance.

Matt

I'd go with the Bentley. I'm a fan of the day-date display.

I'd have to go with the World. Size does matter. :)

If I could have any regular Breitling, it would be a GT.

GT for me as I like it and it's also a better size for me than the world.

Both are stunning watches, you really can't go wrong either way so good luck with your decision :D

This is great feedback. Thanks everyone...For the world owners, how big does it wear? I used to have a SOH and I am guessing like that. Would you agree?

That is an awesome shot of the GT Racing!!!

World !! I have been trying it on for a while at my AD, hopefully my second ling !. Im loving the 'watch looking big but wearing well (like my SOHC) bit' !

The navi world in white has the GMT time in blue which looks great. The black and blue dial s use gold which IMO does not enhance the dial design or its GMT capability...

world, looks more understated and refined imo...(as much as a blingy 46mm shiny watch can be understated)

I would have to say that the SOH "feels" a tad bigger...
Both are great watches; cant go wrong with either one :lingsrock:
