Hi,

Just ordered the KOR Navitimer chronograph, which as stated on this forum, is a bit of a super rep. https://trustytimewatch.io/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=16_143&products_id=22519

Then, I just noticed this and that it's on the NWBIG list. Shame it's not the chrono but I think I need it. https://trustytimewatch.io/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=16_143&products_id=22004


I think I'll end up with both but curious to see if anyone has had to make this difficult decision as well.

Thanks

I was also thinking about what to get lately. Everything that is on the NWBIG has some allure to it so I can see one leaning towards the Navi 1. I personally take the chronograph all day everyday as that is the definitive navitimer for me personally from a design standpoint here. The 1 is a nice watch but it seems like someone designed a new navitimer without knowing what makes the design so iconic. Oviously very personal opinion :eek:. Chronographs can be a bit wonky in reps but as I tend to not use them anyhow its not that big of an issue to me.

Wow, I just ordered the KOR 41mm, and just received the TF 38mm. It is not the V7F, but it was pretty nice. I am glad to hear the KOR has good reviews on the forum.

I agree with this 100% and although I might end up with both, the 1 lacks that feel that makes the Navitimer what it is. I just wish the indices were 1mm longer on the KOR as on the gen. Otherwise it's a fantastic rep.

Both look great. Agree with Excaleben and wish there was a NWBIG chrono….sigh. Trying to decide between the KOR and V7F is torture!!

I would definitely go the KOR, I don’t like the bezel on the V7F, nothing wrong with it I just personally don’t like the aesthetics of it and like the traditional Navi bezel.

Both are very well made.
