Wow, the Chrono Avenger M1 Titanium was sooo nice I bought 2 - one for each of my sons for their 18th. I have a 3.25 Titanium alloy Merlin MX bike and it just is so nice when matched with the watch. I got myself an Omega Seamaster Chrono as a consolation. You treat ti by buffing with scotchbrite (bike that is) but will leave cleaning and polishing at the 6 year overhaul.

Have you seen the vid on the breitling.com site showing how they do this? They literally take all the rider tabs of and replace all the gaskets and basically take the watch to pieces. Worth every penny.

Welcome aboard. :thumbsup:

BTW, you can use Scotchbrite pads to refurb your watches too if you're careful and go with the grain!
