I finally did it, I finally bought it, and i love it, feels pretty good owning my first fine watch, (i don't know if that makes me a full ling since it is 46mm). Had a heck of a day yesterday, i went through 4 AD's in NYC and did not get good prices. George at Govberg gave me better prices with shipping then these money hungry dealers. I was pissed but then i remembered i live in NY and there is 47th street, and even though my uncle who's in Israel on vacation works there i still couldn't get my price. Then just by accident we stumbled on this stand and he had a pretty good selection so i asked for some help, there came this kid who i swear I've seen before and he asks me if i went to his school and write away i remember him and we kick it off. So i offered him to pay for his lunch and the 3 of us went to eat some sushi and drink sacki, in the middle of our get together i ask him if he has the Navi. World, he says he just brought one in. So when we get back he shows me the white dial, stainless steel, polished monster, i fell in love , my girl seen the look on my face and knew write away what i was thinking so i asked him for the price and when he told me i couldn't believe my ears (he said 4400 no tax) so i asked to check the paper work, he told me fine, so i have in my hands the cosc, warranty,slide rule instructions, and the World manual, i think i have everything (if im missing something please let me know) He also told me that he doesn't know if the warranty will work but it has all the stamps and numbers so we both not sure if it would. Anyways im trying to figure out how to post some pics if anybody could give me a quick hint please do otherwise thanks to all of you for your education and experience without you i probably would never of bought this watch. Peace

It's just for fun, nothing official.
I'm sure you could find many posts about that if you use a search button.

My point exactly i wanted to get either the blue or black dial never white, then i tried them both on and they don't have that presence on the wrist that the white has. O and by the way did all of you know that the AD's here in NYC charge extra for the hottest dial. I couldn't believe my ears when the girl told me that the blue cost 300$ less than the black or the white, and the explanation i get is because they are more in demand then the blue.Anyways the white dial really grew on me and when i put it on i knew it was me. Actually i tried the evo. on in both black and white and i like the white more never like white but after wearing it it looks more appealing then the darker colors. :lingsrock:

I think I have come across this before wit hthe dials being different prices. I am a white dial person myself too! Thats why I am having a tough time expanding my collection because it feels kind of repepitive I guess with all the watches having the same kind of look

One thing i noticed that the white dial takes a little getting use to cause it's hard to tell where the arrows are
