Yeah I said it, which I am sure some will disagree with or most I should say in defense of the Navi 01 46mm. But for me the GMT is the way to go.

Well I went back to another AD today that sold Breitling, Rolex and many others. The DSSD is officially out of the running as well as the Navi 01 46mm. I didn't really like the DSSD when I first tried it on last week for various reasons. I originally fell in love with the Navi GMT. For it's size, in house movement and display caseback. But the more I looked at it online there was something off about the dial. At least that is what I thought until I saw it in person an hour ago. It is the better than I could have ever imagined. It is incredible. The fit, the finish, the weight is perfect for the watch, the way it sits on my wrist. I swear they made it for me. I cannot get the funds together soon enough. Even though it will be at least a six month wait for me to do that. But it is the next piece for sure. The DSSD after first look had no chance especially after trying it on after the GMT. The Navi 01 46mm I felt was always going to wear a bit small but I was ok with it after looking at photos of the GMT online. I put the 46mm version on as well and it wore really really small. I put the GMT on and as soon as I closed the deployment I knew, I mean I knew I had to have it. And I doubted myself because of online pictures, Shame on me. Should have listened to my gut and I would have never even thought about Rolex. Navi GMT!!!!

Anyone want to give me any cash, so I don't have to wait so long? :)

This is the Navi 01 46mm just felt really small to me. Didn't have the same feeling as when I put on that GMT.

I can't scrape together the money fast enough. Incredible.

The GMT you're referring to, is that the Navitimer World?

Nevermind. Just got on the Breitling website. Looks like that model is called the GMT, just like you wrote. It's bigger than the world. I can't keep up with all the new models from Breitling lately.

Differences the size obviously. World is 46mm

GMT has a full in house movement in the B04.

World has the Breitling 24 movement.

GMT has a display caseback where the World does not.

Brother, thanks for the review! This is great news, as I've been interested in this one since it's announcement a while back. It looks sick for sure on the wrist, I like how the lugs look shorter than the ones on the World. Display back is a huge plus, and should be soon on more models IMO. The dial layout looks perfect, and is very cool that they used the 01 dial layout instead of the World's. Badass, can't wait to try one on myself. Maybe we can go halves on one and take turns wearing it! ;)
Thanks again for the post and the pics!

I guess they are given the OP's real-world pictures. They didn't have one at my AD when I tried the Navi 46 the other week, but it seems some are out in the wild already.

can't say that i blame you for passing on the DSSD. the watch is SUPER top heavy, too thick and the bracelet taper is annoying. at that price too there are quite a few more options.

both the navi's look good on you so its a coin flip.

The AD I went to near my house actually already sold two GMTs already. The one I tried in was the third one they had in stock.
