hello there guys

just feel sharing this whit the community to have some kind of opinion from you, i now in the end its all about me, but here is goes.

It all started whit a CA M1 i bought, loved the watch, loved the ti look and feel, but the dial wasnt comparable in terms of detail whit more popular models, the fact of being quartz also didnt make things easier i felt the watch was no breitling icon like the navitimer or the super avenger or even the famous blackbird, so i decided to risk a trade for a super avenger black dial silver subs, great dial detail, wore it for a while but the weight and size was just too much for everyday use, and for my 7inch wrists. also i didnt like the bling bling look, to many chrome for my taste, i was used to Ti and the blackbird that is brushed. The SA didnt have the expected wrist time, maybe because i couldnt even button my shirt, so i felt i wasnt wearing the watch because too many things.
So my girl told 1 Day- why dont you sell it and go for a chrono avenger black dial in a pro2 ti?
hey, that is great idea, a bit smaller, same case design, love the discrete ti look, same performance as SA due to same machine, half the weight, too bad for simpler dial design, but not bad, not as elaborate as the SA (love raised wing logos), but still cool.
Probably is one of the most knowned breitling models as well.

So i talked to a close friend and he made me an offer on the SA, i accepted

then started in the look of chrono avenger, and found one just like i wanted or probably even better than expected just whit a few months, worned once or twice, its brand new.
probably one of the very last Chrono Avengers ever sold as new, still in warranty (1year and half left) papers from 2010 provided by BUSA Factory itself, comes in 2010/2011 new style box and new style papers.
comes whit the pro2 ti that in my opinion really make the watch shine, and look very modern compared to same watch whit older pro1.

The SA was one of the first made, had no papers, no box, i probably was needing some service.
besides all this i still saved some money of the SA business, and probably will keep a watch that i think i am going to wear almost everyday.

whit this my breitlings will be the blackbird brushed in pilot bracelet for special ocasions and the CA for wearing every other day.

ETA of the CA is 2 days

will post some picture as soon as the CA arrives

meanwhile tell me what do you think

thanks regards to all :lingsrock:
