The Breitling Watch Source Forums

Hi folks!

Just wondering if i can get some opinions on what to opt for next. I currently have a Navitimer on Black Dial SS bracelet and absolutely love this piece. However, I have been bitten by the Breitling bug and want to go for another piece! (I know i'm not alone here! ) Can anyone advise which model i should consider? I would love something in the same colour with maybe polished SS this time. Also something a little bigger/heavier would be welcome.

Anyone got any ideas??? Thanks in advance

Couldn't agree more with the Doc
I've got my new one arriving anyday now, although I'm going for a white face.

Thanks for the swift reply DD. The SA is really nice, but are they "very" big?? I understand that if you get used to wearing bigger watches, you never go back to regular sized ones. Would this mean my Navi would end up sitting in its box??!! Is there much difference between the c-evo and the SA? Sry for the detailed questions but im trying to do my research before splashing out. Thank you for your patience!

If the SA seems too big, have a look at the Avenger Skyland, similar watch but smaller

You really have to try them on...an AD is your best friend here

the C evo is smaller and neater than the SA but as far as not going back to a wee watch..well I'm wearing my SO today which is much smaller than the SA and I have no problem switching them around....infact The biggest difference is between my SA and my zenith elite.....very thin dress watch ....again no problems, just feel different.

I'd never want to 'get used' to a watch such that I don't enjoy the differences/changes and that is the whole point of owning more than one.

As I say, go to a dealer and strap on a SA, wear it for about 10 mins and you will know if its right for you or not

Good luck, keep us informed and remember....its not to late to join the coral club

Thanks for the help guys, I'll let you know how I get on! By the way, you both seem very well informed - would either of you be able to shed some light on my question in the help section???? I would be most grateful for any assistance.

Thanks again!!

kenseymour,

Save time, money and aggravation and get the SA NOW. If you have been bitten by the Ling bug it's only a matter of time before you HAVE to have one. Why WIMP out with a 3/4 Ling like a Skyland and then have to go back and get the SA anyway. We see this same question come up here about 20 times a year and the result is almost ALWAYS the same. Get it through your head that the SA is NOT too big, listen to the guy's that have already been through this and just get it NOW. It's either that or you will be going back for one later.

The SA is the FULL Ling and is the way to go!! Once you have one that is all you will want to wear for a while. At least that has happened to me. I put on my Nav World and it is great but just does not satisfy like the SA does. Get one and you will not be sorry!

There's no doubt the Super Avenger is a great watch but the whole 'it's the full ling you must get it' comments shouldn't affect your choice.

The best thing is to go down to the AD, try on a few different ones and see how comfortable you are with the particular one you are after.

What works for one person doesn't work for all.
