Hi folks

Quick straw poll - which do you prefer?

I'm thinking on a classic black dial Navi with leather strap.

cheers

Arabics. They give it more vintage presence.

Both. I think each has their own charm. Buy one of each!

Sticks! Gives the dial a cleaner look IMO.

Best,
Dave

Thanks guys. A few weeks ago I was leaning towards the batons, now I think I'm leaning towards arabics. They would also match the arabics on my other 2 pilot's watches.

Hadn't planned to make this purchase for a while, but it seems all brands are about to have a price rise here (30% in some cases :shock: ) and I'm thinking about getting in before it.

By the way, Ron, that photo is very persuasive! :)

Arabics for me, I love the way the watch looks even more classic that way!

I wouldn't care which if it was a smokin deal! But if I HAD to choose I'd pick batons for the cleaner look. But it doesn't matter if a watch I really like comes only one way.
