Hi guys, just got back from the dealer, i haven't decide either one yet. I really love the navi world but the size seems not right for my wrist. I am only 5'-5" and the width of my wrist from the top is 2". Should i still go for the navi world? Just wondering if the members who vote navi world owns navi world are 6 footer? Thank you very much

I'm a Navi World voter, and I'm 6 foot 3 (or how you say it - I'm European... :) ). My wrists aren't huge though, they measure 2,5".

Hi Flynbyu and Driver8, just wondering if you have any problem with your NW? I have been browsing the forum lately and came across some owners complaining about their navitimer. Thank you so much guys

Hi lip7373,
No, I've not had a single problem with my Navi World at all. In fact the only issue I've had was deciding on whether to have it on the bracelet or the strap! :) (Incidentally I've even solved that one now - it's on the bracelet. :thumbsup:)

The only issue I have had is with the second timezone indicator. It works half of the time.

Other than that, it's a great watch!

What do you mean here? It works half the time, the same period every time? Sorry if I sound like sheep here, but you do have noticed the GMT hand goes on a 24h display rather than a 12h display, didn't you?

Edit: Sorry, I don't know how my mind went there. If that would be the problem, I guess you'd say it's wrong (or slow) nearly all the time... Sorry about that. :)

Nice picture brian. For my height 5 foot 5, i'm going for the standard navi black dial.I will be buying a navitimer tomoro. Just wondering, for navi to set the date do you need to turn the crown 24 hours to get to the right date? Lastly is the bezel loose or tight? My dealer says navitimers bezel is looser than NW and can't select date adjustment from the crown. Thank you very much, hope to hear from you guys soon.

It tends to get hung up at 12 and at 6.

You move the crown back and forth between 8pm and midnight and it adds a day each time.

I haven't tried moving the Navi World's bezel...

That works only for standard Navi 23 caliber.
I wouldn't pull the crown between 10 PM and 2 AM.
You could mess up the mechanism.

Possibly a really stupid question, but which one do you prefer?

Thanks guys. I am 100% going for the standard navi. Love the NW but sadly my wrist is too small. Cheers
