    Navitimer World Question

    Hello all,
    Just picked up a Navitimer World 46mm

    My question is... How is it with cuffed shirts? I wear a suit and tie 90% of the time.

    My Chrono Evolution is chunky and I need to wear different shirts or else it keeps getting caught and bunching my cuffs. Will I have the same issue with the World Navi with its 46mm case??

    Thanks all! Cant wait to get my new watch!

    AFAIK the Navitimer World is 15.5mm thick, while the Chronomat Evolution is 17.1mm thick. Hence it should be easier to "hide" the Navi World under cuffs.

    The Navi also does not have rider tabs to catch on your cuffs or tear your jacket lining

    While the Chrono Evolution is thicker, the Navi World is bigger so it might be a wash. I have trouble hiding it under most of my shirts.

    May I suggest something like this set of cuff-links, at least for form if not style. Might just give you that bit of relief you need to let the watch sit well with your shirt and jacket on. Not a problem for a jeweler to add a link or two more if it demands it.



    My bad, but if you 'need' to have a set, and no, I don't know these guys from a bar of soap.

    OK guys, teh Navi arrived.
    I LOVE IT! The look , the style is awesome weather with jeans or suit.
    Exactly what I wanted.

    It is a tad "thick" so under cuffs needs some tweaking but not bad.

    Ill post some pics when I get a chance.

    Blue dial. Looks black with a quick look.
    I originally wanted all white but I love the blue.
