I really don't know what should be my next Breitling. I had a Pluton and a B2 but now I have a super avenger and a Bentley motors. I would like to buy a "gently" used one for about 2000$ but I don't know which one I could be satisfied with considering what I'm used too (look,size and weight) I was thinking a Superocean steelfish or a M1 Avenger. I know the M1 is light because of Titanium bracelet and casing. Any ideas ?????

I have a Bentley, had a SA, and just sold a Steelfish I had for a while. Given what you own, and especially if your wrist is on the larger side, I don't think the fish will do it for you for very long. I replaced mine with a Seawolf and am very satisfied. Even it wasn't quite as large as I expected but in a very short period of time I decided that was good, and it was a perfect size for me as the whole idea was to have another watch that wasn't quite as big on the wrist.

I don't think I could find a ling for 2k that I would want, so would probably look at another brand if I was determined to buy something. Even for other brands off the top of my head I'm stumped, but that's probably because I am not looking to buy these days.

Thanks a lot for the tips, I think I will just go around and try a couple of different ones and then I can make a cleaver choice considering what i'm looking for and the budget im willing to put on it. Last one I bought was the Hamilton BelowZero, which is great look wise, weight (man that one is heavy) and size but its the first watch I have that I dont find confortable at all. Got rid of my Baume's, Omega, Longines and Raymond Weil because After I bought my SA 3 years ago I just couldnt enjoy wearing one of those anymore

Yes, sort of what happened to me too. First I had the BB, then got the SA and bird started feeling a little small and basically every time I'd look at it I wished it were bigger. I liked everything about the watch otherwise and started thinking if I could cross both of them I'd have the perfect watch, and seen the black 6.75 as the closest thing to that combination so sold both and bought the Bentley. What's sort of funny is when I first got the BB it seemed nice and big and selling it because of the size was something I never imagined that would happen, but it did. (well it was big compared to the 39mm Tag I had)

headwind isnt big or heavy enough unfortunately. I tried yesterday a Chronomat GMT and man is that watch nice ! but too costy. I tried a Superocean and I have to admit I was surprised by its weight.

Any watch with Breitling's own in-house movement is worth considering IMO given how friggin awesome it is! :P
