I love both of them! The picture makes them look so much equal in size but how much bigger does the silver/white dial really wear when on your wrist? Is it an extremely noticeable difference? I'm thinking a World is my next purchase! Again, two great pieces!

It wears a lot bigger! A good example is my Navitimer Olympus silver dial when compared to the black dial World, they look the same size even though the Olympus is only 44mm, here's a wrist shot of the new World, my wrist size is about 7 and a 1/2 inches............................

I think we both came out of it very happy, my appreciation for Navitimer's is growing and I'd been toying with another silver dial 'something' for a while, where as the Blacksteel was getting less and less wrist time in favour of the Navi's so it made sense to move it on, and I think I'm correct in saying the SA BS is now getting extremely rare in the US so it worked out well for both of us.

Luckily for me, Matt had great taste and bought what is one of the most pleasing of dial/strap combos, especially as I already have the other World on the stainless to interchange, the black dial looks cool on the brown croc too!

You going for the stainless or leather? I had a 24mm brown calf buckle which belonged to my 'old' white dial SA, it looked really good on the black dial Navi World.

Haven't posted much about the SABS because it pains me to take it off the wrist to take pics!! Stefan, I am loving the custom straps. The world is a nice watch but couldn't pass up an opportunity for SABS they are becoming hard to find!

However, I might not have it for long, I might need to buy a new car soon....wife's turn for a treat :guns:

Love the silver dial navi, it can be used with SS bracelet or any leather strap. But with black dial navis... I like them only with black leather strap. :wink:

I like the world a lot and to have them both is awesome but personally I think the white face is more versatile. Beautiful Stefan.
