I know its all down to personal choice, just seeing if anyone has both watches and if they prefer one for a reason, been to a AD and tried both on and even tho I have always wanted a BB the navi world got more attention but they only had a blue dial in stock. The white dials do look very good in pics but never seen one in the flesh

It's kind of apples and oranges, but I definitely lean toward the Blackbird - and for me, only the traditional brushed, black dial Blackbird will do.

A lot of the decision comes down to what's already in your collection. I have nothing in the Navitimer range so that sways me in that direction. If it was a stand alone watch, I'd definitely go the BB brushed.

Navi world White dial in a heartbeat. I'm just not a fan of the BB personally.

It depends on what you already have. For me I would go with the BB.

Any except the Red Strike. Just not a fan of the polished case and there's too much red on it IMO.

Nothing Else Is A Blackbird!!!

I Love The Navitimer - However The World Does Not Appeal To Me, I Feel It Is A Caricature Of What A Navitimer Should Be!

Perhaps, Because I Perceive It To Be To Big And Kinda Gaudy As A Result!!!!!


Cheers,

thanks for all the comments, going back to a AD today to take another look at both. I do still like the BB, I need to take another look at the worlds dial to see if it captures me like last time

How often do you replace your 'shift' button?

Another vote for the Brushed Blackbird!! Although I think the Navi is the more "traditional" look, the water resistance concerns me.
