Hi . New here. came over from reddit where i posted about getting a watch for my sons birthday and got a load of help and pointed at a few threads here. So here I am doing some research.

I am weighing up a few options Originally wanted a Navitimer chrono. I Havent ruled this out but I am thinking maybe something along the lines of a Tag Aquaracer might be better suited given his age and save the navitimer or equivalent for either when he passes his PPL flying or for his 18th ?

Generally speaking, gifting someone a fake watch is not a good idea, unless this someone is a Russian hooker that you will never see again after happy hour. An 18-year-old with an expensive clone from daddy . . . what could possibly go wrong?

He is aware its not real but in any case hes decided to buy it himself now anyway and has settled on the white face navitimer 1. just looking around now to get the best model.

If you’re going for the Navitimer 1, definitely go for V7F model! It is considered a NWBIG, I own the blue dial and have no complaints so far. However, due the bezel shape and wide bracelet, it does wear larger than its size, it is 41mm but wears like a 42.5mm.
