The question says it all......Does the new 01 movement have the same wobble in the thinner Navi case? |

No, primarily because it is bi-directional wind. The 7750 is uni-directional and the "wobble" or "whirring" is the rotor free wheeling in the non winding direction. Compared to some other brands I've had - IWC jumps out - the Breitling 7750 based wathces are relatively quiet. The Navi 01 has no sound to the movement, except for a discernable ticking of that lovely movement whe you put the watch near your ear!! |

So the IWC pilots have an even more distinct whirl? Seems like that would be pretty distinct if it is worse than the Navi I dont necessarily mind it, and it does give the watch a feeling of life, but I have begun to sour on the wobble. |

In my experience there is nothing quite so loud as an IWC 7750. At times I thought a helicopter was landing nearby.
