Hey guys.

About to make a buy on the World, and torn between the black or the blue face. Which is best do you think?

Very excited!

I am in Montreal, Canada. Does anyone have any connections on where to go? I have been in talks with a dealer here, and they seem to have offered pretty decent pricing. $5400 CAD.

Thanks for any feedback and direction.

Price is good if it includes taxes, you can do better if before. I have an Ontario contact if that will help, none in la belle province.

Blue or black has to be your choice, but black will be more flexible.

Thanks Roff.

I actually work in North Bay Ontario 3 weeks per month.

Would love a contact out of Ontario.

Please share.

Thanks,

Why don't you make that short list really short, The Wink?
Let's gang up on an AD and buy two. Perhaps we can save on a volume discount.

Blue for me. IMO the blue face makes the Navi more unique since the majority are black faced.

But like Roff said, ultimately it's your choice.

I had a blue World and while it looks stunning on blue croco, I didn't find it to be that versatile. So I sold it and bought a silver/white dial World instead, which is superb IMO especially on the bracelet.

I've never owned the black but for everyday usability it's probably up there with the white dial so of the option of black or blue, I'd go with black I think.

:yeahthat

If you go with black, you'll never have to question whether it matches what you're wearing.

Granted the blue dial is beautiful and there is something to be said for being different, but IMO, black navi is THE iconic Breitling. It was hard for me to pass that up.

I'm with Driver8 on that, silver/white. But if you're set on one of the two, then black for the same reasons.
