Well, for the past two years I've had my eye on the Breitling Super Avenger with the diamond bezel. I have an IWC 3714 (Portuguese) and the reliable Rolex sub, but I wanted something to compliment those pieces. The IWC is a nice "work watch"--understated, professional, and classy. The Rolex sub is a tank obviously, always worn when I'm doing outdoors type stuff, whether that is hiking, working on the yard, etc.
As I always say, you can take me out the ghetto, but you can't take the ghetto outta me, he he. Accordingly, I wanted a watch with some bling that I can wear while playing poker, nights out on the town, etc. Thus the Super Avenger with the diamonds. I've tried it on numerous times for the past few years, but I just couldn't pull the trigger. The trigger was the wife - she declined my suggestion that we get a boat lol. Ok...no boat, then I can put some boat money into a new watch.
I considered going online, but I was too scared due to the horror stories. It doesn't help that when I visited the Breitling site to do my research, a pop-up comes up that warns people that 99% of the Breitlings online are fakes lol. Regardless, I wanted a Breitling warranty (plus the store I bought it from adds a year to it). My IWC has broken down twice, therefore happy that I had the warranty.
I wanted 35% off from what the store was offering it for, but I ended up at 25%. I would have liked that extra 10% off, especially since it has a 2008 dial (barely any difference from 09), so rather than haggle more, I bought it. No buyer remorse whatsoever!
Anyways, here are some pics (not that great - in a rush and couldn't set up my ghetto fab watch photo studio). Sure some people will love it, and some will hate it, but oh well, I love it, and that's what matters!. I like the blue face over the white face because it tones down the diamonds somewhat (the white face with diamonds screams bling bling).

Thanks. The piece is definitely different, but I wanted something that compliments my small collection. I'll admit, the Big Pilot was tempting, but I already have an IWC. The blue face really downplays the diamonds quite a bit. A friend called it my "Randy Jackson" watch (the American Idol dude who is always rockin' the gigantic bling watches). Another friend said people will think I play for the Seattle Seahawks ROFL (i.e., black dude getting out of an AMG with a big ass diamond watch on, he he).
I need to win a big lawsuit so I can get the Patek next.
It is heavy as hell, so need to get used to it.
