Well twice before I've owned and sold a Chrono Avenger and after each time I kind of regretted it, especially last time when I sold it to buy an Avenger Skyland, and as beautiful as it was (slate dial) it just wasn't a Chrono Avenger! I missed the light weight, the warmth of titanium and the fingerprint resistance!! It seems that good Chrono Avengers are getting harder to find and prices are creeping up, check out Ebay, you'll be lucky to pick one up for under £1,400 and many are around the £2,000 mark now! Well after looking around for a while I found one from another forum seller in the US and we did the deal and it arrived last week. It came with a full length Pro I and a Rubber Diver Pro, original complete box and all papers. Condition wise, it's pretty good, no dings to the case or bezel, crystal has a couple of those tiny scratches to the AR that are only visible in certain light and the Pro I has the usual desk divers on the clasp. I've popped it on an Ocean Racer with the new style brushed clasp and it looks fab, definitely my favourite combo at the moment! I'll pop it in to BUK in the New Year for an overhaul and maybe new crystal as it's a little outside of my time keeping tolerances and hasn't been serviced since new. I like it as much as I ever did, at sometime in the future a Pro II would be the icing, but for now, my collection feels a little more complete! ![]() ![]() ![]() Stef |

Nice pick-up. I've always wanted to try a CA since the weight of the AS is a little heavy for me. Love the clean, bold dial design but haven't been able to see one in the Ti at AD since they are older model ![]() Ultimate tool watch IMO, enjoy! |

Nice pickup, love the rubber OR strap w/deployant and the ProII will be a nice change in looks for it when you get around to it. Wear it in good health and try to hang on to it this time...LOL. |

Great watch. All the size, none of the heft. Sometimes i feel like the Skyland is a bit of a dumbell on my wrist. |
