Hello Gents
So this is it, already in the 4th breitling, i think i got the Breitling disease in me, no cure i think :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

The story is going to be short, i got a bit tired of the size,weight, exagerated chrome look sometimes of the Super Avenger, i still love the watch but my wrist sometimes suffered a bit, because of this and other factors like the fact i couldnt even button my shirt because the watch was to big, the fact i had no documents, the fact it was one of the first SA, it was a bit banged up and needing a service, no wrist time in last months so i decided to sell it for something of the same style, lighter, smaller and whit same performance as the SA and please a bit more discrete. already guessed?

So i picked one of these, probably one of the very few sold new, never saw a new style manual of that model
its getting dificult getting one of these but i found 1
anyway here are the pics, hope you still like this classic B
sorry about the average picture quality they make no justice to the bad boy

hope you like it, i love the look of the Ti, and the pro2 really make this baby shine in my opinion

please coment
:lingsrock:
regards to all

That is THE watch that got me looking at Breitlings. (specifically that dial and a brown strap). Too bad it was already discontinued. Congrats.

yes i believe that happened to me also, especially after seeing the movie blood diamond :)

just noticed now from the pictures i took that there is a concentric circular patterning on the subdials, i didnt noticed this before, i could almost swear that the chrono avenger had plain subdials, anyway thats is good :)
