Hi guys

I am currently selling my chrono avenger (I love the watch but really want an SA) and I am not sure which one.

I really like the arabic on black with white sub dials and have located one near me (which is also on ebay) what I want to know is are the numbers silver like on my white faced CA as in the shots they look black - do breitling do this model with black numbers??? I am in no way suggesting that this is a fake just want silver numbers and wondered if this ine had black!

The ebay link is:-

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/UNWORN-BREITLING- ... 240%3A1318


As always

Thanks to the guys in the know in advance

Regards

John

the numbers are silver...it seems black because of the light angle.

Click on "fitting" - you can build any Breitling combo (you don't need to know Japanese either)

Thanks for passing that along. I had never seen that!

Why the hell don't they do that with the US site?

I tried the SA black dial with Arabics, and even though the numbers are silver, they are quite hard to read as they seem black under most angles. In fact, it seemed to me like I had just a plain black dial, without any details showing
That is why I prefer the white dial with silver Arabics, since it is much easier to read and it gives the watch a higher "bling" factor. Just try it at an AD near you, its worth the trip if you're making a big watch investment

What? I've never even been close to have the reading problems you mention. I am perfectly happy with my black dial SA with arabics and have never had any readability problems.
