SS for me, with full gold a close second. Both are just more traditional colourways to my mind, and that's important in a Navi. (That gold one needs a black date wheel though! :wink: )

Gold bezel with SS case, love the tone on tone subdials, more readable for me and Navi. should be on leather.
Not much help, eh?

I like the SS with the gold bezel. Something about that combo that I like and seems a bit more readable!

Thanks all for your input - I found it really useful.

I’ve gone for the s/s and absolutely love it.

The bracelet is so highly polished and clean and, besides for a VERY stiff slide rule, the main system is in good nick.

I can always go for a gold when I have more money spare - I worked out the gold content (around £2.5k worth max) and the premium for that gold is probably around 250%

For me, a stiff bezel on a Navi is a bonus as it means it's a tight fit, which means less chance of accidental water ingress. (Not that you should be doing anything water-based with a Navi anyway!)
