My last watch purchase was a Citizen Eco Drive back in 1999 that I broke after a year or so. Since then I've often browsed watches online. A couple weeks ago I made the mistake of visiting the Breitling store in Saint Thomas, along with many other jewelry stores in Saint John and Saint Thomas. I knew right then and there that I wanted a Breitling, but I also didn't want to pay full retail. They didn't have any used watches at the Breitling store in Saint Thomas, so I began doing research when I came home from vacation. I found a VERY good deal on Chrono24, but the dealer was in Portugal. I took a shot, and landed this beautiful mint Chono Avenger M1 with a blue dial. After waiting a couple of weeks, it was delivered along wiht the box, paperwork and all of the accessories including the bracelet with extra links and a one year warranty. They also replaced the battery and checked everything out before placing it up for sale. I couldn't be happier with my purchase.

You have the early style bracelet. Looks more "muscular" than the later style.
I prefer the dials without the regatta timer feature.
