I'm excited to receive it in the mail. The hardest part is waiting for it to arrive. Thank you all for the input. I will post pics when I get it. I have to start using my SLR, my iPhone doesn't take the best pics. I think ill get a couple different bands for it to change up the looks. |

this watch looks best on the pro2, modern design bracelet, very confortable and light, better looking than pro1, i had both and prefer the pro2 also this watch looks best in bracelets, rubbers and calfs give it a cheaper look but still looks great been wearing this bad boy for the last 2years, i get more compliments whit the CA on the wrist than the triple expensier blackbird bs, the bulk titanium look is fantastic

The Ti Chrono avenger should never have been discontinued, the finest Breitling along with the Blackbird IMHO, good pick up! |

Love the CA. Such a rugged, cool piece. And comfy as any watch I've ever owned.  Cheers! Ross |

Ive had my Titanium CAM1 for 8 years now, and although my taste in watches has changed some, its still the watch I reach for when Im heading to the pool or beach.

I'm wearing mine on an Isofrane rubber strap right now. Super comfortable.

I got my CA today and I have to say, I knew it would be light but this thing is a breeze to wear! Even with the UTC it's the most comfortable watch I think I've ever worn.  There are a few dings and light scratches on it.. Not a big deal now but I'm wondering if I can send it to BUSA to have it overhauled and refinished. Is this something that they could even due? I know it might be costly which doesn't bother me. This I fastly becoming my favorite watch in the arsenal! |

A full service will address that when it is needed. In the meantime do a search here for scotchbrite - great (and cheap) way to resore the titanium finish - although obviously not dings. |

A full service will address that when it is needed. In the meantime do a search here for scotchbrite - great (and cheap) way to resore the titanium finish - although obviously not dings. I was a little skeptical about the scratch pen it came with.. I figured there was a reason the seller never used it. I tried it on the 9 o'clock side of the case and it actually worked. its not perfect but its a lot better than it was. That was the side that i was worried about the most. Do you have a ballpark what an overhaul would run me, assuming the battery and seals are replaced and the movement is lubed? The service records were never filled out so I don't think its ever been in. The date code is 0305. Thanks in advance. |
