If you had the choice between a Navi World and a Bentley GT which one would you pick and why?
I feel like I am torn between the two! :roll:

Be picky, I like hearing your opinions! :D

Definitely the gt over the navi world, the dial on the world is too cluttered for my liking. Much rather have a navi olympus or 1461 opposed to the world. The b4b gt is my second favorite watch in the breitling line next to the b4b mark 19. BIG fan of the gt in the diamond face:

Navi, but I don't like B4B's.
The World is a much classier looking watch in my opinion and you still get the GMT function. I also like the Navi bezel better than the B4B bezels.

This may sound dumb however, would the water resistance have anything to do picking the watch as well? I really like BOTH but can not afford both, it would be my weekender/dress watch and I feel as though having that extra WR would be nice. Dam, this is so tough for some reason. lol :oops:

For me, no. Not with a watch that I would primarily use as a dress watch. Plus I'm not going swimming in a $5k watch unless it's a dive watch, but that's just me. I didn't think twice about the WR of my BB because I know I'll never swim in it, I'll get an Oris for that kind of stuff. As long as I can wash my hands and not have my watch implode I'm happy.

I could agree with that. Although I do swim with my Chronomat Evo every weekend. :D

Obviously if I have a Navi I would be terrified to even wash my hands though lol

Another thing when choosing between the two... I did want a slightly larger watch than my Chrono. Does anyone have both watches and they can post a side by side wrist shot? That is probably asking for an awful lot isn't it? It would be nice to see the two on the same persons wrist ya know.

This is just a beautiful classically styled World. Cluttered? Not to me. In my opinion it is so much nicer than the GT, plus I think that diamond pattern on the GT's dial looks a bit weird. I prefer a more classic look though.

I vote for the World. I'm not a big of the B4B line any longer. I previously own a B4B 6.75 and got really tired of the bezel and it's bling factor. I don't wear my any of my watches in the pool so WR doesn't matter to me. I don't care if it's a 10,000 ft Seawolf, my watches come off when the bathing suit goes on PERIOD.

I would go all out with the 'world'. I believe its one of Breitling's most striking watches but then again I love a white dial and I love the bracelet. I had a choice earlier on in the year between the World and a Legende but I went for the Legende which I think is a very 'under-rated' Breitling.

The Legende has now gone but that was because of need rather than want but someday I'll get him back but I may just plump for a World first!

Cheers

How can you not like that? Absolutely gorgeous.
