I need some opinions....new Navitimer

As the title says I want your help because I can't end up with the new models.

I had almost come to the conclusion that in terms of size I would choose the dimension 43mm because I'm not too fond of small watches but also because I have a wrist of 20 cm.

From colors, I had excluded the new colors and I had come up with the classic black and silver.

My favorite color is blue but I had ruled out dimension 46mm.

I also like more models that have around the white than a black Slide Rule (bezel).

Today that I tried them again even the dimension 43mm seems very small to me on my wrist.

And since I went to dimension 46mm where my favorite color is available, blue, now I find it difficult to choose because I like black equally.

The easy way to distinguish dimensions 41mm, 43mm, and 46mm is that the NAVITIMER at 46mm is at the top of the dial while at 41mm, 43mm at the bottom of the dial.

I upload some not-so-good photos from dimensions 43mm and 46mm to tell me some opinions on how they sit on my wrist because I'm confused.


first the 43mm






















now the 46 mm


























46 mm with my AW 44mm for reference









both blue and black in 46 mm

Congratulations in advance on the 46

Seriously, it’s a hard enough to read watch as it is … the bigger the better and you can definitely pull off the 46 my friend

For me it would be between the Black 43mm and Blue 46mm. Regardless to what you choose you can't go wrong here. It also depends on what else is in your collection colour wise.

Both fit you very well (which doesn't make this easier, I know). Since you've examined both in person you would be best able to assess the advantages to one over the other.

Since you seem to be leaning towards the Blue 46mm without realizing it that's what I'll vote for. The selection process is all part of the fun and I'm even enjoying being a small part of it.

Can't wait to see which you decide to get! There's no wrong choice as long as you're happy!

46mm look fine on you, and it is a bonus that it is also your favourite colour.

If I were you, I would get a 46 mm. Also, I think you should pick your preferred color.

Some today pics from the blue 46 mm with more natural light at the AD.

Honestly, can you tell guys that this is a 46 mm watch?


To my eyes look like a 43 mm at best.

All the new Νavitimers (41-43-46mm) look at least 2 το 3 mm smaller than their nominal size.
