Well, looks like I got two full lings now... with a third coming. Just picked up a Black dialed Super Avenger on Pro I bracelet. I prefer the Pro 2 bracelet though, so I'll be updating it shortly... with a White dial one coming in as well however I'm going to pick the one i like better and sell the other.

Pics to come shortly of both Full Lings.. then acceldebt won't complain about the lack of full ling pics ;)

Nice pickup, I would go with the black dial since you already have the white Motors. Just giving you my input, not trying to influence you in anyway. :twisted:

Admin,

Good job now you are actually spending your money wisely. I'd keep the Black Dial SA Because on the SA the silver sub dials really show up and look cool on the Black or Blue ones. I'm going to pick one up myself soon. Keep up the good work.

It's a bit like the old phrase "size doesn't matter, it's the technique"...

Well, what about size and technique? :P

Nice pic!

It seems to big in the photographs, but after a bit you will get used to the sheer size, just like your motors. You won't even notice it's on your wrist after two straight weeks of usage. Only people that will notice the size are the people eyeing your watch, but personally it will be just right. But, Ling Man is right, I can't even go back to wearing my regular navitimer because it seems too small. The only watch that I could substitute for my SA would probably be a Motors. Which I am trying to work on getting a black dial one.

defiancekofb,

That would be a good move the Bentley is the FULL FULL Ling. I want to get a Black Dial SA for variety but you just can't beat the Bentley and you will hardly ever run into anyone else that has one. I've had mine for 6 months and I have never seen anyone else with one and I live in an area full of Lings. The all Gold Bentley is the FULL FULL SERIOUS Ling maybe you should try one of those.

It's funny you mentioned that, since purchased the SA, I have never saw someone else with an SA, I have seen loads of people that have the navi or the Chronomat Evo, but no SA. I saw one person in Manhattan with the Blue dial Motors w/ speed bracelet on the 6 train in the subway (looked like a wall street guy), That's the first time I saw one in real life. Also in Manhattan, a white dial motors w/ brown croc strap in the Union Square movie theater ticket line. These two sightings probably convinced me to purchase the SA, since it is near equal in sheer size. I tried a black motors t in the AD, but the brushed look doesn't seem to suit me, the 30 second chrono is really amazing though.

defiancekofb,

I didn't even know about the 30 second chronograph until I got my Bentley home. When I discovered it I thought it was great and it is. Go get one you won't be sorry.
