Hi,

So I'm set on getting a Navitimer world...long time ago when I first saw this watch I loved it in the Black dial and ss bracelet.

In the meantime I got a Rolex sub 14660M (submarriner, no date) which has a black dial so I have slowly started to look at the Navitimer world in a dark blue dial and ss bracelet.

Now I saw the world in white (no pun intended :-) and I think it's a very sharp watch as well.

Question -- what do you guys recommend in terms of white vs. blue? I love the contrast on the blue but the white has a very nice and clean look...

Thanks!

hi,

white goes with everything but looks to clean in mine opinion.
I vote blue for its higher contrast.

I vote white. I love the look of the clean white dial with those blue markings. Just awesome IMO. :D

The white is amazing, but it wears MUCH bigger than the blue.
vote for blue

My preference is blue, and I've been looking for a blue-dial watch for a while.

Recently I saw the white and liked the clean look; I have small(er) wrists so it might look big on me. Will have to try it out.

How hard is it to swap the dial and what does it cost to do it -- just in case?

Thanks!

Very expensive, $1,200+ on a current model. You would be better selling and buying the colour you want.

The blue dial is very nice. I like how it changes color depending on light. My personal preference is white>blue>black
