Good afternoon, folks.
I really like Navitimers,however I wear my watches everywhere ( well, almost everywhere), however how really practical are the Navitimers?
30 m WR is quite a low rating, to be fair.
TIA

I've worn mine nearly every day for the past 17 years, except when I was deployed to Iraq. I don't wear it to the gym, the beach or the workshop, but otherwise I wear it all the time.

Id love to see some pics of a Navi with some age and patina on it.

Although the WR of a Navitimer could be a concern if you were a lifeguard, but in reality most of our jobs do not result in regular exposure to water. When I know that I will be exposed to water I wear one of my Superoceans, if not chances are I will choose from one of the ones below!

All of the above are worn in rotation on a regular basis. The 1959 Navitimer and the 1959 Re-edition belong to my wife. I wear the re-edition but not the original. The remaining all make it into the rotation with the Blue Sky and Pan-American versions seeing the most use! The original 1959 Navitimer sees regular use with my wife!

Top Right! This watch was limited to 100 pieces in stainless steel and only 10 in pieces in the rose gold variation!

The Pan-American navitimers were only released approximately 10 years ago so I would think that all are still in circulation!

I don't get this "not suitable for daily" unless you are a professional SCUBA diver. Did I fall down and end up in the Rolex forum? :?

Not much patina to speak of, never polished, just worn daily and wiped clean when I change straps a couple times a year.
