I love the Navi World w/ GMT and sub dials set...
but I do have small wrist and am afraid that the large 46m is just a little too much watch for me.
I could live with the Navi Heritage 41.8mm as second favorite but not sure if I will regret not getting the one I love.

Is it more likely I would get used to the larger model or more uncomfortable with this very large piece ? hmmmm...help !

Shame they didn't produce the World at 44mm
I ruled out Datora just don't like the look as much as these two... Navi World or Navi Heritage.

As a previous owner of a Heritage 46 and a soon to be owner of a Heritage 46 Chrono (less than 24hrs to go) I would say between the two I prefer the Heritage but then again I also own a Bentley Motors which is very similar to the navi world. Tough decision but I would go with Heritage 46 Chrono which wears large by the way.

Only way to know, if possible, is to try both on and make the comparison yourself.

Hi,

Difficult question, I have the Navi World, but would like the Heritage, as its got a good look to it.

I think either would be good but if you have any doubts that the Navi could be too big, go for the Heritage as a few guys on here have had to have second thoughts on large watches and ended up selling them on after a chance comment that the watch is too big for them or their wrists are too small to carry it off. (You know who you are :wink: )

So......................................only one answer................................both. :D


Ian

Big question that someone else my have said is do you like leather straps ? The original heritage was indeed 43mm ish, had the integral steel bracelet , so no leather strap option, world looks amazing on both.

46mm is kind of becoming the standard or though it will back track at some stage, so its not huge in a market place of Bentleys etc...
