Don't buy the Fish just because it is less expensive.


:yeahthat

The price difference always seems most significant before you buy. Ultimately it's much more expensive if you don't pick the one you really want and you end up trading 6 months down the track.

And guess what, I ended up getting the SA. It just spoke to me, nothing was wrong with the other ones really, but the SA was the one.


This was my experience too, i fancied the Airwolf, among others but after trying on the different ones in the range i tried going away from the AD and having a coffee while my head sorted itself out.......after waiting all those years before i could afford a Ling it was a big event to go and buy one...........so i went back and was offered the Super Avenger 563 and it really did speak out .......my wife noticed it was the same dial colour as my show car too.
The right decision too..........SA top choice :lingsrock: :bow: :bow: :bow: ...joe

So there you go guys...

I went to the AD and ended up with a Super Avenger with the black dial.

It just kind of spoke to me...... brilliant watch and not so big when you get it on your wrist, although I have pretty tiny wrists....

Thanks for the advice!

I am also having a similar dilemma... I am looking to purchase my first Breitling, and am stuck between the Chrono Super Ocean or the Avenger Skyland. I prefer the look of the CSO but when I try it on I am worried that the watch is too small. I do like the Avenger, but I wish they were offered with a different color subdial rather than the 3 solid color choices. I guess I am lucky if this is the worst Dilemma I have pending.

I have seen these choices on the website before, but every AD I go to say that the Avenger only comes in the three solid colors. Is it a mistake on the website or do the AD's not know what they are talking about?

I guess you have to order it. Let your AD contact Breitling about it if they don't know.

Normally they dont tell you about it because they want to sell what they have in stock, but they will order it if you ask.
