Does anyone else think it’s odd that the bracelet date codes on the six o’clock side and the twelve o’clock side don’t exactly match. Same year but different weeks.

Recently bought a gently pre-owned Avenger Blackbird 44, came with the extra large black stock strap. While it fits fine, it leaves more hanging strap then I care for.

What I really wanted for it was the Breitling stock OD green strap anyway, so I jumped on Breitling‘s site and tried to order one. Then after it lets you put all your info in, I get the dreaded…out of stock or discontinued message.

Have it on a Straphabit strap until I can locate a Breitling or higher quality aftermarket…

Been eying a Navitimer to add for quite a while now and the 24 hour layout has always been what excites me the most.

I haven’t seen (could have missed it) much chatter about this watch in here. What do you Breitling guys think of it as far as its representation of a historically awesome watch – is it a Navitimer to own or is it gimmicky?

Thanks

I remember back like 12 years ago when I bought my first Breitling. It was a panda Montbriliant Datora and I was in a nice little AD on El Paseo Dr. in Palm Desert, CA. It was around 8pm in the evening and I walked by the window, and they were closed. But I had been by earlier in the day, so they opened the doors for me and ended up making the sale. This was a class act, they popped a bottle of champagne for me.

I just remember that whole big juicy display case full of those Schneider-era…

I just got this Avenger Seawolf Titanium in and I really like it. I had the same watch back in the early 2000's and foolishly sold it. They are great tough watches and I missed it since I sold mine. I found this one in very good condition and it had enough links to fit my 8.25" wrist, and the price was reasonable. It also had all the boxes and papers. I will probably send it to Breitling for an overhaul but it seems to be running well so far. The only problem I found was that the…
