Hey Guys I'm new to the forum and I am looking for my first Breitling! The problem is every time I think I have finally decided on one I change my mind, so if anyone has any input I would greatly appreciate it. Something I'm definitely looking for is a face on the bigger side, the 46 seems like a good size to me. Some of the ones I've been looking at are the Superocean Heritage Chronograph - I like how it's classy yet sporty at the same time. I would probably wear this with the Ocean racer band. I also just noticed the new Superocean Chronograph M2000 - It could be that I really just like the band, do you think this would look good on the Superocean Heritage Chorono? Thanks for the help! |

Try them all, go to different AD's, see which one treats you right, etc. The M2000 probably won't be out until sometime in may, so can you wait? Welcome aboard!!

It really does come down to trying them on. The M2000 isn't going to be in stores for a coule of months, but this is an emotional decision not a practical one. Go in to an AD, try on as many watches as possible and see which one just 'feels' right. |

I couldn't agree more. I went in with the expectation of buyer a Super Ocean and ended up walking out with the Super Avenger. I didn't even try on the Navitimer because I new that was the one that I really wanted, but didn't want to spend the extra money. I should have spent the extra money.... I love my SA, but still want the Navitimer. My solution to this is to eventually buy the Navitimer, but the point is to try them ALL on as others have stated. |

You guys were definitely right it's 100% different going in person. I actually really liked the super avenger, but I thought it might be a little big on my wrist. I also was able to try the super ocean heritage chrono but it had the green bezel instead of the black I was interested in, but it still gave me the idea. Please let me know your thoughts, thanks!

I think the regular Avenger will be the ticket. Basically identical to the SA, just a bit smaller. Of course, all that really matters is which one you like though. |

That does sound good but the only problem is that I like the blue with silver chrono...which is available on the super avenger but not on the avenger according to breitlings site. What's the difference between the avenger and the avenger seawolf chrono? On their site it looks like the seawolf chrono is a little less shiny. Does anyone know if that is true? |

The Seawolf Chrono has a brushed finish and its a quartz movement. |

The gray dialed Avenger looks good. Have you seen it? I have almost bought one on more than one occasion. R/ |
