And I would agree! :) (Although I did also own the blue one on blue croco for a while too!)

I would think that this white Navitimer World looks bigger than a black Super Avenger....
If only my AD had one I would be able to compare....
Anyone have a side-by-side pic to share?

Compared them in real life and I agree with D8 - "the World is not enough" (accidental Bond reference, hahaha)

Thanks for the wonderful pics! :shock:

What I meant to say is that the Navitimer' dial is larger than that of the SA.
Lets not forget that the SA has a rather thick bezel, where as the Navitimer' s bezel is almost non-existant :?

Hello,
What a topic.... WHAT IS THE BEST NAVI ????

Well... I have the OLD NAVI II - model A13322 - this was the navi from 1993-2002 - and I must say I think it is the best.....

WHY???

1) the 6,9,12 dial configurations rocks
2) date at 3 - WHICH IS QUICKSET
3) purest incarnation of the navi in a modern navi
4) absolute classic with black with white eyes
5) I OWN THIS MODEL!

Whilst I do love the NAVIT World - I am a litte concerned about reliability issues (as the movement is getting more and more complicated with the addition of the 24 hour hand). Also I am concerned the dial is getting too complicated.... LESS IS MORE!

I also feel the same way about the the Datora and Montbrillant.......

MIND YOU - if I had to pick a new Navi (say mine was lost/stolen/invloved in a poker game that went bad) I wouled replace it with a Montbrillant! - WHITE OF COURSE.

I tried both the white baton dial SA and the World at the AD a little while ago. And I thought the World looked a hell of a lot better then the SA. I just wished it was more waterproof.. :?

That would be enough for hands washing.
Wouldn't feel comfortable swimming with it.

My favorite Navitimer a month ago was a Montbrillant (white dial), a week ago it was a Montbrillant Datora (white dial) and now it is a Navitimer Cosmonaute (black dial).
