Hi all,

i am saving up for a Bentley GT ICE Racing but a my local dealer i saw two lings with a very tempting price!

First the Avenger Code Yellow (batons) on PRO II with clasp for $3630

Second is the standard Navitimer batons, not the B01, with black dial on leather with clasp for $4375!

These are very good prices for Europe...

So i am thinking, go for the ICE or sellect one of these beautys.

So if you go for one of those does it completely erase the Bentley from your mind? If not, I would say go for the code yellow because it's so different, not to mention less money. The two lings I own are kind of along that same line... a Bentley 6.75 and a Seawolf.

I guess the GT Ice is also quite a bit different than the Nav., but more because of the color.


PS: I'm a total believer in getting what you REALLY want if there's anyway you can swing it.

i want to buy one watch, i'm saving up for the ICE but when i first saw the Code Yellow i was stunned, what a great one! And the Navi is a classic, very very nice...
Both watches fits perfectly.

Sometimes life is tough... :wink:

I agree that the code yellow is an awesome watch and so is the navi so you really can't go wrong with either one. But don't "settle" just because it's a good deal. If your mind is really set on the gt, save up and get that one. If you now really like the code yellow then definitely get it because that's a great buy. I have a gt racing and a code yellow and I really like both of them.

They are only bargains if they are watches you want!

These three watches are so different I think that you have to decide - from both a look and a practical sense there are so many variations.

Of course it is simple - buy all 3!

you have been wanting the ice for quite some time. i think that if you get anything else that you might regret it. just save for the ice.

I wouldn't put too much pressure on yourself, if you buy one and change your mind just flip it and get what you want. A few hundred bucks is worth losing to get the one that sings to you. Heck, some people on here change their watches near as much as their socks, and for one poster on this thread the socks probably lost. :D I've been through 5 lings myself to get to the two I have now, and like you, I budget myself for watches.

Keep saving for the Ice. Those 3 are actually 3 of my favorite Breitlings of all time, and id be happy with any of them (and ive owned a Navi and a standard Skyland). But if you really want the GT, save for it and get it. No point in buying a "bargain" when you still think about the GT.

Yeah that ICE is pretty tempting... that and the Barnato racing has been my guilty pleasures from the recent stuff.
