I'm thinking of adding the steel bracelet to my Navi World. It might be just me but I just don't find the leather very comfortable especially when worn for long periods of time.

For those of you who own/have owned a navi world with a steel bracelet, is the bracelet comfortable? does it add a lot to the weight of the watch? and which do you prefer in terms of looks, the bracelet or the leather strap?

Thanks guys!

The Navi bracelet is fantastic. My World is on the barcelet and I wouldn't put it on anything else. Sure, leather gives a very classic look, but the 7 row Navi bracelet is just superb. Very comfortable and doesn't add a noticeable amount of weight IMO.

Hi!

Currently, I Own Two Navitimers One on A Bracelet & Another On A Leather Strap; Both Are Equally Comfortable Yet I Prefer The Bracelet.
IMO The Navitimer Bracelet Is Grand & I Have Owned Another Navitimer Pre-Navitimer Bracelet On A Pilot Bracelet & That Was Fabulous As Well!

Cheers,

Enezdez

Your going to love it, the bracelet is extremely comfortable and as stated earlier doesn't add much weight.

The bracelet is very comfortable. I was afraid it wouldn't be due to the size of the Navitimer World, but you can hardly tell it's on your wrist.

It would be a great investment, plus it's much more durable!

I own two Navi Worlds - One on a bracelet and one on a strap.

Both look great with the strap giving it a classic look as mentioned here already.

BUT... nothing beats the brcelet on a Navi World and the look! It is probably the most comfortable bracelet I have had on a watch. Adds minimal weight but feels like a piece on your wrist.
The bracelet shines and attracts attention to your wrist.

As a matter of fact...I put my Navi World on strap for sale. Love the looks, just doesnt get wrist time.

So bracelet for me on the World.

Just my two cents...
