popped into my AD yesterday determined to buy another!
tried many but as usual the desigh/colour I wanted was a little elusive

so have ordered two for comparison..will take upto 12 weeks for delivery...plenty of time to choose 1 or the other and change my mind 500 times

they are

Navi world on steel with white face and sliderule
Monty Legende steel with white face and black slide rule


post them wrist shots please...help me decide

They only had the monty with a black face and white rule and I NEARLY got it but thankfully, the heart ruled the head and I decided to wait.

also tried an airwolf and aerospace again but they wern't talking to me like the navitimers.

:roll:

I need another Navi myself, Doc. I seriously think I may buy a silver/white dial Navi World on the bracelet myself. Yeah yeah I know I already have a blue dial World, but I'm planning on putting that back on the blue croco, and the World is by far and away my favourite Navi, so I quite fancy a pair of 'em!

I tried a Legende on when they first came out and while they are still very very nice there are a couple of things that make me prefer the World. Firstly I'm not a huge fan of the way the hands/pointers on the Legende are gold, while the hours markers (on the SS versions) are silver ; it just looks a little "off" to me. Secondly I much prefer the style of the hands/pointers on the World - not quite so dressy. And thirdly I'm not keen on the black slide rule on the white dial Legende.

So there we are - I vote for the World!!! :)

I've been pleased with my World.

I enjoy wearing it. It's very comfortable for such a large piece.

I know exactly what you're going through. I had to make the same decision 2 months ago. And the result...

Why? Well, I like the "easier"dial on the Legende over the slightly more cluttered dial on the World. I also like the integrated bracelet on the Legende, and the total appearance diversifies more than the World (got a white 6.75 a few weeks earlier.

I'm fully pleased and would make the same decision today.
