Hi guys,

I am new here and thinking about buying my first Breitling.
I am interested in the Breitling Avenger Code Yellow LE and I was wondering how much it was when it was released?

Another question about the bracelets: what is the difference between a diver pro and a diver pro II bracelet.

Thanks!

I just got one today. It's a great piece, thick and chunky. Don't remember the original retail price.

2010 price was $4,825 on strap I believe.

The Pro II bracelet is the successor to the Pro I, visually fairly similar. The Diver Pro II strap which I think is what you meant based on your WTB ad is the plain rubber one vs. the original Diver Pro which had Breitling written down the length of it.

The current retail price (if you can still find one) may be higher; closer to $5400 on strap because of price increases.

OK thanks, I am interested in the rubber strap without the holes in them. There are basically two different types i guess, one which has a folding clasp and another one. I don't know what is it called in english, basically the most common way to close it, with just some holes and a little pin to put in one of the holes. What is the rubber strap without holes and a folding clasp called?

@mfserge what kind of strap do you have? Some pics maybe :)

I have the diver pro II strap with a folding ocean racer deployment clasp. Just google Breitling Diver Pro II and you will find many photos for your enjoyment.

The other strap and buckle that you are referring to with the tiny holes is a strap with a tang buckle.

Yes, Navi Olympus bit the dust. Never did quite bond with it, I think it's because the navi 01's are just so perfect IMO that I couldn't appreciate it. The navi 01's are the perfect watches for me; size, looks, functions, everything is perfect about them.

I see. Let me guess, it went to Hong Hong?
I'm sure it found a loving wrist ;-)

Nice and sporty I've liked this in pictures for a while. I know it's the code yellow but, how "in your face" is the yellow in the flesh?

Congrats bud. Love the yellow accents, as yellow and black are the "Breitling brand" colors. I just picked up a black Skyland with white stenciled arabics for my old eyes, and love it.
