Does anyone have a Super Avenger with diamond bezel? I am contemplating getting this, but one of the negatives against this is I don't really wanted to get robbed a gunpoint because the bezel is flashy. Discuss. Also, a secondary choice would be, I could probably get the speed bracelet, so Lingman will stop harassing me about the rubber strap. :lol:

With the diamond bezel, you could star in a rap video!

:lol:

The bracelet would be a great investment. Both modifications would add value to your timepiece!

I like Diamond Bezels and Bracelets... wouldn't get The Diamonds on every watch, but I like having one watch with diamonds. Some situations it complements my style and goes well I think.

What else would I wear with my Grillz? :D

I like diamonds on a watch, but not too many....The B-ling's in the gallery section are very nice. Especially O2AFAC67's photos in the "Gallery".

Here's my wife with a $99,000 Versace watch on her wrist while visitng a retailer in Cancun last September.

Wow that looks the perfect rap video watch. haha

Getting back to seriousness, that's why I am thinking of shying away from the diamond bezel because it seems like it will be tacky. I mean I plan on rotating the SA for daily usage and wearing a watch with a diamond bezel with a hanes white t shirt seems to be tacky. Like Source said, he probably wears his diamond CE with a dress shirt, tie, and blazer. I'm just a normal clothes wearing dude.

If your Super Avenger has a white dial, the diamond bezel would look very nice. If it's black, I let it ride. Black is just so strong looking! Blue, it could go either way, specially if you own a croc strap!

Whoa there gents! Let's reign in this bling-tastic talk of SA's and diamonds a little! That combination would attract more attention than Father Christmas running naked down Wall Street!! :shock:

Where's that bling-o-meter icon of yours Brian? I REALLY think we need that about now! :wink:

Per Driver8's request, well go to the Bling-O-Meter for advice!

Admin started this site for his love of Breitling and lack of information on Breitling available on the internet.

This site is rapidly turning into "Watchaholics Anonymous" for me.

:lol:

Please do not post anymore diamond bezel pics.....My wife has already seen a couple of them and she really like them! Help!!!!!

The Bling factor is quite minimal I find with just the diamond bezel. It doesn't attract too much attention and actually i rarely wear my diamond bezel with dress close.. infact I prefer my navi for dressed up occasions. Its thinner.

People don't really notice the diamonds right away.. its quite subtle. Actually I find people notice the Large size of the Bentley more. :nana:

Yeah true that's probably why I will probably opt to not get the SA diamond bezel. I think it's sheer size basically dictates alot of notice. I mean it's ironic I seem to feel that more people notice the SA than my MBO when the price difference is substantial. I guess size does matter.(No pun intended) The 48.3mm SA compared to the 43mm MBO. I finally get what Lingman was stating how the regular lings seem to feel like a communion wafer. :lol:

defiancekofb,

It's 1:00 AM Eastern Time here and I just got back from enjoying a fine Cohiba at my local Steakhouse Bar. While I was smoking my Cohiba I noticed my reflection in the mirror behind the bar and was enchanted by the beauty of my Speed Bracelet with my Bentley in that mirror. I was in a conversation at the time but remembered that one of this forum members was SO MISGUIDED as to wear a RUBBER Strap on what is designed to be a FULL LING. It almost RUINED my evening. But then I realized that I am an old man and I was once a misguided fellow myself, so here you go . STOP BEING A MISGUIDED FELLOW ! As a matter of fact you no longer lack guidance because you are getting it now. Get the DAMN BRACELET NOW !! And don't wear the watch out of the house until you OBTAIN THE BRACELET. Wearing a Rubber strap on a Ling is like putting a Speed bracelet on a Casio. Straighten UP !!! Wise UP !! Stop Being A Damn J---Off
