Post subject: | Navitimer or Navitimer world? |
Hello everyone, As I am travelling next frebruary to NYC, I would like to buy a new Breitling Navitimer from a AD. I am looking for a Navitimer or Navitimer world, black or silver dial, with a steel or brown croco bracelet. What a dilemma?! Has anybody a suggestion to help resolve my problem? I already had an offer for a Navitimer black dial with croco strap for 4.500 USD (excl shipping to my hotel) outside NYC. Would this be a good deal? Are there any things to notice? Thanks in advance for your reply. Cheers Tsjakke |

To be honest the main deciding factor between those two is size. Around 41mm for the standard Navi : 46mm for the World. Make sure you try them on it person before you buy because those 5mm make a HUGE difference on the wrist. |

Depends on your wristsize. Try them on! I bought std navi, fits me perfect. A World would look stupid on me. While on others, the world is perfect, and the std "too small". |

Tough choice. I have both the World and the Navi. For me it's not so much about size but instead the look and the complications of the watch. I really enjoy wearing both. The best thing would be to go to an AD and spend a fair amount of time with each watch. You may strap the World on and feel immediately that it's to big or vice versa but give each watch some wrist time. I realize that's not easy in an AD where it's hurry up and make a decision but this is a fairly big costly decision. Look at the features of each watch carefully and see which appeals more to you. See which, as they say calls to you. You'll know. |

Thanks a lot chaps for your reply! I'll certainly pop in an AD and some of these on. I think though, I'd better pick the Navi since my wrist size is not the same as Schwarzenegger. Anyway, have you got any thoughts about the 4.500 $ and the croco strap with deployent or steel bracelet? Thanks! |

From the 2009 US pricelist the Navi on croc with deployant is $5745.00 and on steel is $6425.00. You can usually expect anywhere from 20 to sometimes 30% off of that from an AD. I believe there has been a price increase since that was published as well but I may be wrong about that. |
