The Breitling Watch Source Forums

Thinking of pulling the trigger on a Chrono Avenger. I have found 2 similar ones out there, one on e-bay with a leather strap and another one that is at a local jeweler with a diver pro strap. The one at the local jeweler was purchased in Aug 2005 according to the warranty booklet, it has the COSC certificate with serial numbers that match the watch, it does NOT have the manual, and it does include the boxes. Also, they service all of the pre-owned watches they sell and they provide a warranty.

I have seen the one at the jeweler and it looks better than the pictures - the pictures look like there are blemishes/dents but that is not the case in person. They both seem to be fairly priced????? I like the idea of buying local, so that seems like a big plus, but no manual sucks and I don't know what to think about these jewelers that do their own service. Anyways, here are the links.

Any advice/comments/input would be appreciated.

Thanks,

I would go for the one that you can put your hands on. Manual is really not a big issue IMHO, you already know how to set it.

Yes, the manual isn't that necessary. The other documents are nice to have, especially if you later want to sell it (for adding credibility to authenticity). The warranty itself won't do much for you as it most likely will have expired, unless your jewellery shop is an AD. I'd shop local - it's always easier to deal with a face in front of you.

If you don't / didn't, I will. Buy the local one that is. Good luck. I saw the exact same watch on ebay last month. I wonder why it was for sale again. I did sell for more this time.
