Don't hear much about the Datora it seems like an interesting Navitimer but doesn't seem to get as much love as the others. Whats the scoop on the Navitimer Mont. Datora ? Dial a little too busy maybe ? Some feedback please.... |

A little busy for my liking, but I found I liked it more after seeing it in person compared to photos. |

I have had one for two years, and it is still my favorite. I think it is the perfect size 43mm. Myabe in the beginning the dial is a little bit busy, but not after a while. |

The size is what has me interested in Datora, the Bentley GT at 44mm and the SOHLE at 46mm both feel good on my wrist...I still want a Navi, but the World feels too large on my wrist...even though the same size as SOHLE, it just wears different and the Navitimer Classic at 41.8mm now feels just a little too small. So I went out and tried on the Datora, perfect fit for me and I liked that Havana color in person a lot more than I thought I would, but there is just so much going on with that dial... yikes ! Maybe you do get use to it... but at first its hard to tell the time at a glance, takes a little more focus than any watch I've ever had. The day/month/date feature is a clever set up though... If they just would have designed the World at 45mm and the Classic at 43mm, I think they would've hit the sweet spot for a lot more people...silly little mm! |

I like the look of it, although it can be a little hard to read. The issue that I have is that I am going off full cvalendar watches that aren't perpetual / semi perpetual. Not sure that there is any logical reason for it, just a personal thing. Yet more evidence that I'm weird

Owned mine for about 2 or 3 weeks now. I LOVE IT!!! I have the same opinion on the size, its the perfect size. I also thought the dial was "busy", but after looking at pictures I couldnt keep my eyes off of it. |

I think its a beautiful watch and was my watch of choice until i saw it in the flesh - Just a little too busy for me and much bigger than what im used too - But it does look fantastic. If it suits you, then its a YES |
