Heaps of good points here. Two things to contribute.

1. The height and style of the watch are more important to me than diameter. I owned a 46mm vintage Chronomat and it looked much better on my 6 3/4 inch wrists than my Avenger Skyland. It had a lower profile and carried the size better. This might make the Navi work.

2. I have noticed that i conformed to the larger, then smaller trend. When i first got into watches, i tended towards the larger ones. Now i have scaled back and my SOSF is the largest watch I'll own. So what we love in 2011 might turn us off by 2013. If you like it now, buy it. But be prepared for a change of heart!



I agree, height, style, and also dial color. I prefer larger watches so looked at my BB as a little small, but at the same time debated if my blue SA was a little on the large side. All things taken into account I figured a black 6.75 would be perfect so made the switch, and turns out I was indeed right.

Hey guys,

I know this topic has come and gone, but what do you feel is the maximum wrist size for a Silver face World?

The only world i was able to try was a solid gold w/ black face. It felt limit for my 6 3/4 wrists.

Now my wife is trying to put in my head that the world is going to be to big. The lugs length of my Planet Ocean XL was a bit big, but i think the World is a bit wider but not as long.

Do you guys think i should go with the normal Navi silver face?

So much doubt, and there is this thing with the BlackBird... :poke:


Go for the World. Once on your wrist, and over the course of a couple of weeks, it'll optically shrink. I swopped a Navitimer II for the World, and my wrists are nothing huge and it looks greats. Tons of compliments. Great style, too!
