Checked out Navitimer AB0139A71G1P1 (white dial with blue hands and indicies)

When the email came in for this a few months ago, I was kinda like, omg take my money now. Have wanted a white dial Navi for a long time. TBH, I would love to have a different Navitimer for every day of the week. Blue is a really good color for me too, except I'm apparently very picky when it comes to my blues on watches. Never cease to be amazed at how different some watches are in person vs. online photos.

What looked like a bright and brilliant royal blue in online pictures actually turned out to be a very deep, dark, more navy blue or almost black in person. Even out of the Boutique in nicer natural light, it still looked way too dark. Completely missed it sitting in the case in the store too, it was that unrecognizable. Anyways, wasn't a fan, but I would definitely still love to get another Navitimer one day!

I really like this one as well! The blue hour markers and hands contrast nicely with the dial.

Very nice!

The one I've wanted for awhile is the all white dial with both red and blue indices, making it look like an old school slide rule. Very "enginerdy." This style seems to come and go from the catalog a bit. I don't think they have one right now. I was thinking of getting this one, but my 126610LN just came in so.... I will just have to look and admire for now! :)
