V7F vs KOR

[Yacht-Monster]

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 . 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.

They look very nice, thanks for sharing. I'm excited about the KOR. The post that showed it next to the gen shows that there's not much to tell them apart.

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.
