Picked up a Navitimer!
Well, after a few months of deliberation - I completely did the unexpected! A little back story here... For a while now, I've been looking at the Rolex Explorer II (42mm) and finally decided it was time to pick it up.
I walked into my local AD, and had the Explorer II on my wrist ready to go. Something seemed off to me, it just wasn't sitting right on my wrist. So I waltzed over to the Breitling section, and tried on the Navitimer - and it just felt perfect to me. 24 Hours in, absolutely loving my purchase. This isn't to say I won't pick up a Rolex down the road - but there was something about this watch that I just had to have!  What do you guys think? |

It's hard to go wrong with a Navitimer. They can be dressed up and down and look great. I've been tempted by a white dialed one, but so far haven't pulled the trigger because of my "one watch per brand" rule that I've only broken once ;)

Can't go wrong with that. It seriously has no rivals in the aviation watches field. Btw, my blue Navi says hello.

I like the Navitimer, looks great with the white dial, but if I could choose between an Explorer II and and a Navi ....

I take it u would have gone the Rolex way. Between those two I would go the navi route as well but if not limited to those two I would rather take a super Ocean or a Pelagos Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
