I recently picked up this Navitimer World. I bought it on the SS bracelet but have been loving the black croc. I recently picked up a Brown Croc and I think it gives the watch a whole different look. What do you think of the combo?

I'm not usually sure about black dials with brown straps, but the look has been growing on me lately. I think that really works with the white slide rule creating some separation between the croc and the dial.

Certainly is an amazing watch. And IMHO it looks great on either strap or bracelet. :thumbsup:

I like both combinations Mah but if I had to pick a favourite it would be the black strap - not totally convinced about black face with brown strap although it works in those photos.

Beautiful watch the World, really like that piece :D

Both strap combos look good but I prefer the brown.

The croc does it for me, most certainly. Black has the edge with the same colour dial but both are good.

That is sure a good looking watch. When I saw the first picture I said to myself 'how could that watch get any better?' ...well it just did. I find that the brown croco fits very well with the world.

hey, Mah do you still have the stainless steel bracelet?
Now that you have found suitable replacements, I may be in the market to take the bracelet off your hands.
Let me know. Thanks.. (smile)

I couldnt agree more Roff. Although I must say Panerais seem to be able to pull it off constantly too.
