It's an easy comment to make, but.....

I think that most people seeing that would view it as an endorsement for a factory Breitling diamond bezel or no diamonds.

So you're saying my watch is ugly. ?



It is my personal opinion (which is worth what you paid for it) that it is absolutely hideous. It is also my personal opinion that most people here will agree with me.

If you like it then that's all that matters, but don't expect many people to view it as an enhancement on a Super Avenger with or without factory diamonds. Most people here would also find the Breitling factory 'diamondworks' pieces to be hideous.


Oh I get it you're a moderator u have to say that , and of course people will defend the moderator

At BreitlingSource people are free to express any opinion that they wish - I promise you that I am giving you my honest personal opinion, not an opinion clouded by being a moderator.

If you believe that people will support my view solely because I am a moderator then you are sorely mistaken - we don't have 15,000 members, 37,000 topics and over 300,000 posts because everybody has to agree with me.

I am sure that you wouldn't like my watches, and that's OK. Oh, and I can't imagine anything worse than being stopped in the street by people wanting to take pictures of my watch.

Well they say you can't buy class... but you can clearly buy enough diamonds to ruin a great watch!

Is that Jersey Shore on in the background of that YouTube clip?

@ApBt101 - all that should really matter is that you like it. Personally, I'm not remotely into diamonds (OEM or otherwise) on men's watches, but if you like it then that's all that counts.

Pretty much every single one of us here either own (or have owned) watches that few other people like ; and 99% of us are absolutely fine with that. If we all had exactly the same taste it'd be a very dull world.

I'm from Philly and there are plenty of people who have watches or watch collections in excess of 30k. That watch isn't for me either, but to each their own :)

You should take this offer and run and don't look back.

I've been to Philadelphia numerous times, and I've seen a lot of nice watches. Almost all of them, in my opinion, looked a lot better than your Super Avenger.

In Philadelphia this is all we have are custom Breitlings. So either you spend most of your time in New York or you haven't been around lately. I'm friends with 75% of jewelers Row. Also on market Street. Matter-of-fact I'm on my way to jewelry row right now. I can get a regular super avenger for $2000. As for my watch $20,000 is the cheapest. Of course that's not with the quality of diamonds I have. There are custom Breitling's that are so far gone you can't even tell they are breitlings anymore I think mine is very simple compared to what is in Philadelphia. I didn't mess with the inside of the watch at all only the outside. I can go back to factory with a screwdriver in minutes. That's exactly the way I wanted my watch so I don't understand what you guys are talking about. The only diamonds that can't come off are on the band but I have a regular band , which this band is a Breitling band And the diamonds encrusted on the sides of the watch. I put the factory bezel back on factory band the watch looks plain again. So to me it's the best of both worlds. I can wear regular watch during the week and I could be DECKED out on the weekends
