Would I be a madman to be considering a second Navitimer World and/or a second SA???? I currently have a blue dial World on the bracelet, but I also really fancy a white dial Navitimer on a brown croco strap, but all the other Navi's are just too small. Personally I think they'd look sufficiently different to justify it, but I thought I'd canvas some opinion here anyway! Likewise I have a white dial SA on blue croc (which I love!), but I also fancy having the black dial version on a bracelet too! ![]() With the exception of a Bentley Motors and the forthcoming SOH Chronograph, there's nothing else I fancy at the moment...., even by other watchmakers. (Incidentally I'm off the Chronomat Evo idea now too). |

No, I wouldn't think you're a madman. ![]() If you'd like a white Navi and still diversify from the world, have you thought about a white Legende? Then I believe you'll gain 1 mm too... For a second SA, there are no options. If you'd like a black one - get one! |

![]() Driver8, Have you consider a Stainless Steel Avenger Skyland instead of another SA, although you lose 3mm the Skyland is still one hefty watch and is available in Black. Just a thought |

Thanks for the replies guys! (I guess the best place to ask if you're mad is in the asylum!! ![]() ![]() I had thought about the Legende, Aleister, but I personally prefer the Navi hands to the Montbrillant versions.... and also I want a Navi that I can have on a strap, so that pretty much cancels the Legende out. I do like the Skyland as well, Jerome, but I tried one on at the same time as when I bought my current SA, and while it is a sizeable piece, it was just overshadowed by the SA a bit too much. (PS - Actually, I think Sportback has a pair of Panerai Daylights - one in black and one in white, if I'm not much mistaken...... so I must be sane! ![]() ![]() |

I wouldn't own a Navitimer after owning a Navi-World. The Navitimer is just too small! ~Brian |

Yes, you're right - the idea of switching the Navi over to a strap crashes with the Legende. But still, no you're no madman. For some of my watches, I've decided which model to go with depending on if it was available in a certain color or not... |

I don't thin there is anything wrong with getting another Navi World, but I'd get something different first, like maybe a Legende... or... maybe an Olympus or something? |

![]() ![]() You mean these? ![]() As to being mad or not, in 14 months I've managed to purchase 12 watches... ![]() |

One of the main reasons I'm not able to post as frequently (as some!!) - can't get my bloody arms out of the sleeves.... |

Hello Diver8, before You buy two similar watches just wait 2 month. The new models will be presented on the fair in Basel, which is in the first half of april. Maybe there is something new for You there. BG Thomas |

Heck, get one in each dial color. That way when you get tired of one you can sell it to one of us at a hefty discount. ![]() I think a Legende in Havana would look sufficiently different to compliment the collection. |
