| Post subject: | First Ling, then PAM…in the same week |
Back in October of 2010, I had myself a first “high-end” watch. It was a Super Avenger and it was a gift from my brother. But unfortunately, I don’t possess the wrist size to be able to sport this great looking watch. So it sat in is box, unworn and unloved for two months. Finally in December, I decided that I would look into trading/selling it for another Breitling that would better suit me rather than just letting the SA sit. That’s when I found this site. So as someone that’s new to the watch world, I started reading all the threads and began learning about Breitlings and other watches like IWC, Panerai, Rolex, etc. There were so many choices to make…do I buy new or used? Which model should I buy? Where do I buy it? What should I do with my SA? To make my long story short, after much research and debate, I decided to purchase a brand new Navitimer from George in late January. Great, I got my watch fix and that should be that, right? Wrong! Before I even received my Navitimer from George, I found myself contemplating another purchase because I had found Conrad’s FS post. Why a guy that just bought a new watch needs to browse a Buy/Sell forum, I have no idea; I really gotta stop doing that. Anyways, I decided to jump on the PAM 111 he was selling. After a long wait (at least it seemed long in my head), both the Ling and the PAM arrived this week, despite the Chicago blizzard. God bless those delivery drivers. Finally, I have not only one, but two awesome time pieces that I can actually wear. Anyways, I want to say how thankful I am to this forum. There are so many helpful people on here and I really appreciate all the information and knowledge I’ve learned from all the members. So thank you all and thank you for reading this unnecessarily lengthy post. |

So did you decide to keep the SA as well or did you end up selling it? Beautiful watches btw. |

I was doing all the research on the more expensive winders, but in the end, went with the Brookstone winder and I’ve had no regrets. I’ll eventually put it on a timer so it’ll get some rest period, but right now I don’t even turn it on much anyways. andrew692003 wrote: Great start to a collection there, love the navitimer.

But hopefully, “next” is not until next year… jddbmw6913 wrote: So did you decide to keep the SA as well or did you end up selling it? Beautiful watches btw. Thanks. I still have the SA. It’s just sitting in my watch winder, more so as decoration. Since it has sentimental value, I’m in no hurry to sell it for now. Plus, I was going to wait until the retail price goes up on them later this month… |

That is a stunning Navi, you don't see the silver dial that often and with the brown croc looks sick! Wear them well and enjoy them! |

And it's actually a gold colored croc, although it is a bit darker in person than I thought it'd be too. Maybe the color gets lighter as time goes by?? |
