on it's genuine-ness. I know, no pics suck, but I haven't purchased it yet. There's a guy local that is selling a Blue face Navi world with both the SS band and Blue leather band. He has papers and everything, the only three things that threw me off about it are:

1. Dial/Face - glossy blue rather than metallic satin like the gens I've seen
2. Datewheel - very slightly sunken, font seems correct though
3. Clasp - inside of clasp isn't sandblasted like gens I've seen

but then I saw this ebay auction and it appears that this one has the glossy face & slightly sunken datewheel too?

My local AD says that they all have the satin metallic face...

Thanks! When did they change to the new brushed/satin dials? or is this an edition from another country?

They didn't change anything, it's the angle, lighting and the AR.

then it must not be real because I swear it was not a satin face on that thing. great AR though. if you look on ebay most of the navi world's appear to be satin but there are one or two that look like the face is glossy...

As bnewbie said the watch in the link you posted is real.

It's difficult to say anything regarding the watch you are thinking of buying however without seeing some actual pics.

If you could have the seller send you some pics you could post it would be helpful. :D
