wadan Posted April 25, 2007 Report Posted April 25, 2007 Hi Mates , I am contemplating a TT Navitimer on Leather , I am not a fan of TT watches but just cant get this one out of my mind , There is a great report by By-Tor , however it dose not show the watch on Leather , Would highly appreciate pictures and opinions , Thanks in advance and cheers
eunomians Posted April 25, 2007 Report Posted April 25, 2007 All of the original (ref. 806) Navitimers came with leather straps. Some of the straps were lizard, others were calf. The original TT Navitimers looked very sharp with their respective leather attached to 'em. If u ask me, a TT Navitimer needs to be paired with leather - not a band! Cheers
Richard Tracy Posted April 25, 2007 Report Posted April 25, 2007 I actually prefer leather on most of my watches... as I find the gives me much more versatility to match my clothing, activity or mood.. not to mention that it's much more comfortable,... that is if you stay clear of deployant clasps...
b16a2 Posted April 25, 2007 Report Posted April 25, 2007 The navitimer's look good on steel, but when on a leather strap they look far better in my opinion. It gives them a real classy look and feel.
By-Tor Posted April 25, 2007 Report Posted April 25, 2007 TT Navi is probably the best TT rep out there. Though I haven't seen the Chronomat yet. Mine looked like this:
NaviChief Posted April 25, 2007 Report Posted April 25, 2007 I agree that navitimers look best on leather. The new rep straps, either the tang style or the new alligator print deployant, are getting much much better. A gen strap is best of course. I've tried on a gen TT with the black alligator deployant and it looked beautiful.
millwright Posted April 25, 2007 Report Posted April 25, 2007 FWIW I LOVE my TT Navi on strap + deployment. I have another GEN calf strap and GEN deployment for sale if you're interested.
Raijor Posted April 25, 2007 Report Posted April 25, 2007 Leather is the way to go. Quality Alligator can set off any watch but the Navitimer is made to go that way and looks best on a strap.
Rxus Posted April 25, 2007 Report Posted April 25, 2007 (edited) TT Navi is probably the best TT rep out there. Though I haven't seen the Chronomat yet. Mine looked like this: By-Tor that watch is amazing, when you wrote the review for it, i was really imrpessed, in my opinion looks better than any TT Rolex out there, and even on the SS band it looks good, but leather should be acceptable as well.

eunomians Posted April 25, 2007 Report Posted April 25, 2007 I'll have to agree that the TT bracelet is very nice looking. Whilst I still prefer leather, the TT bracelet does look incredible.
