Erik @ Radcliffe hooked me up with this beauty. Loved the white Baton, Black Baton also but settled for this version in the end

My first ever true luxury watch purchase< and I am delighted and proud that it's a ling.

It's stamped 46-12 so shes a really freshly made super avenger which has delighted me even moreso :cheer:

I'm not great with a SLR so please excuse my photos....and I will swap out the straps soon and show it on brown calf and Pro 2 but for now.......

Enjoy :lingsrock:

Wow, wear that in good health. That’s a beautiful watch.

Calf strap will look brilliant on this one.

Watch is great, shots are great. What a start to a beautiful Breitling collection. You must be thrilled, and congratulations on the choice.

Question. Are you ambidextrous?

Jim

Thank you Jim - I am thrilled with it all so far -The Breitling calf straps are sublimely supple. Looking forward to trying out the brown soon.

Looks great! The contrast of the bezel and black calfskin is a great combo! Enjoy!

Black calf, brown calf, SS bracelet, anything goes with this beauty.
It's like having three watches in one.
Enjoy wearing it!

Great first choice. Looks fantastic on your wrist. I like the SA best with numbers and contrasting dials. Well done!

Ok, no problems. :)

Just that you had it on your right hand in one of the pictures, so though it might have been for the benefit of the pics, but also thought you might be two handed. 8)

Now, I realise the pics are mirror images. Teach me for looking at these late at night!

Hey Lenny,

Try wrapping your wrist in bandages :D

Also, any child under the age of 10 should be shackled within 50 feet of you.

Don't dance with any member of your family where arm contact is required (So 50's Rock n Roll is out of the question). My favourite niece managed to unscrew a push piece once during a Chuck Berry song. Oh dear!

Seriously though, don't wear any jewellery next to your Ling.

Wear it in good health my friend. Your watch looks as good as mine :). Now I know why you like the blue combo.

Where did you get that brown calfskin strap? That would look fantastic with the deep rich blue we have.

Even though I just got the pro 2 :)

Looks great. Wear it without fear: the SA is a very tough watch, it'll handle whatever you throw at it :-)
