I'll take the Nav B-Chrono 47mm ,black...

Looks like the IWC BP... :). The Aviator looks too clattered and personally it resembles a PAM to me.

I'd go with the aviator if someone asked me to choose at gun point.

The flieger design is too common nowadays.
The aviator doesn't look like pam, it looks more like B&R styling. But hey, oris had something like that too, but at least its not too bloody common like the flieger case.

If someone asked me to choose any steinhart at gun point, I'd go for the triton
If someone just plainly asks me to choose a steinhart, I'll punch the sh*t out of him

Both are nice but personally, I'd go for aviator as 47mm is big for my wrist.

I think i'll get the Aviation Chronograph.

For the pilot Chronograph, will save up more for the IWC IW377701. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

If I am not wrong, Singapore AD has this aviator Chrono piece, you might want to try it out to see if it fits you nicely. Buying direct from Steinhart is cheaper though.
