The Breitling Watch Source Forums

Yeah, they both fit different niches, but I have narrowed my next purchase down to these two. I like the heft and size of the SA, but am afraid of how to pull of it as daily wearer. The Navitimer World would be better at that. I'm currently leaning towards the Navi, but I am still unsure. Any opinions?

Love an all white Navitimer World. It will be my next big watch purchase.

Even though I own both, it's the Navi World all the way for me.

Even though my SA is my daily wearer, they are becoming a bit too common in certain circles.

When you say next one, what do you currently have? That is the key question for me.

I voted SA as I think it's more everyday life and a bit more robust than any Navitimer, but depending on your answer to my question I might want to change that vote.

Both pieces are too big for me, but I prefer the look of the Navi World. Have you considered something that would suit and everyday purpose possibly even better? E.g. SuperOcean Steelfish.

Tough choice indeed. I was in a similar predicament myself. I was looking at both the SA and the Legende, so I bought the Legende first and then followed with the SA. They are both must haves in my opinion, size, style and presence! I can wear either of them daily but the Navi tends to act as more of my dressy piece. Either choice is a great one and I'm sure you'll end up getting the one you don't choose first eventually, so no worries, go with your gut instinct on this one and enjoy it!

Well, the SA certainly fits that bill

I agree with aleister, how it goes with your existing collection is critical.

Looking at what you've got, definitely Navi World IMO. Bit of contrast to the others, plus it's less likely than the SA to dwarf them (Panerai excepted, of course).

They say the SA is dull for everyday wear so i get by with this version of the
range it will do for now
Not at all dressy eh..............

I ve had both, now both are sold.

If I had to choose 1 watch it would be the World.
The SA is too thick=uncomfortable for a daily watch.

While I haven't had both I was stuck between the 2 and the size and thickness are what did it for me. I happen to think it is the ultimate hang out watch. Basically jeans and casual shirt. Sweatshirts are optimal... it seems to just scream love me for the beast I am!

I voted the World. It's more versatile IMO and as others have already indicated, it will be a nice edition to your existing collection.

Good luck.
