HF Navitimer World - is it worth it?

[zdrpkamil]

I'm looking for Navitimer World. Unfortunately BP don't produce it no more and other factories seems to do the same but...

I contacted Hont and he said that he can source from HF for 336EUR/358USD.

I asked for a photos and he send me some example photos.





Only I think that that one rep isn't that good?
As far as I know gen has silver hands but that one have bronze(?) and also date window look kinda sunken what shouldn't be a problem in that case because of standard 7750 subdial placement on 6, 9 and 12 hour.


What's your thoughts?
Are there any alternatives from other factories? I want that certain model (I want it very bad) but I don't want to compromise with something halfway good.

Whether you buy from Trusty or Hont doesn't make a whole lot of difference. The Navitimer World is a big watch at 46mm, but aside from that, you're dealing with an asian 7750 movement. The A7750 isn't my favorite movement, but if you want that watch, all I can say is good luck. And one last thing, try not to over think this too much.

I asked Mary and she said that factories don't produce World no more, but after I send her these photos and told that it's from HF and other dealers can get me one she said that she can get me that one too so today I paid/placed order and now patiently waiting for QC then shipping info from her.

Thank you and see you again after I'll receive that beauty

Eh, typically if they tell you the factories aren't making it....you should listen. The dealers will always try to make a sale or dig around to find what you're looking for, but really the newest items made in batches are the only ones you want to own. Old stock stuff is a bit of a gamble...
