  1. I have heard of inflating value for insurance bit this may be pushing it
  2. the pearl and bezel are terrible, one can only hope they don't move the rest of the line towards this crap.
  3. Are you kidding? its probably more difficult to find a one without it these days. Its almost standard.
  4. Cause its just come out! These are new dials. It coincided with their name change from Avenger Skyland to simply Avenger. The simple way to identify the newer ones is that they have swiss made printed at 6 o'clock Lume dot. They also release batton dials versions. All the factories have to do is just rep the new dials Im sure many people will be asking just for dials to change into their existing watches.
  5. ok here it is, ps mods I think this magnificent piece of art should be pinned If there is anyhitng thats confusing tell me and Ill refine the model
  6. you need a pin pusher, ill draw up some instructions in a bit...
  7. I wonder how people are managing to get hold of the SUper Avenger dials...

    yeah that was nuts (Hammond was wearing a breitling avenger ti in that ep btw) The Africa one sits very fondly in my heart thou. Especially the part when they had to go across a massive salt lake and their cars were sinking, so they proceeded to take all the door and boots and anything they could to lighten them up. After they got through they entered a jungle that had wild animals including lions, so they had to try and cover their cars to protect themselves since they had no doors anymore.
  9. I think it has more potential and was a bit disappointed tbh. Im sure after they sell boatloads they will bring out a better version that make the current one a throw away item. The main problem is, I along with many other were expecting it to be more like a laptop, instead of just a giant iPhone. You cant really create anything with it, its made to only consume. Buy our apps, buy our music, videos and ebooks and you can use it. Oh and you can surf the web. The problem with Apple is that they are control nazi's, Gates wouldn't get away with half the [censored] Job's does. They make great devices, but then castrate them because they want to "control the experience". And don't buy this horseshit about flash is dying so that's why apple wont use it, its pure greed and control. With flash you can get a whole heaps of things online for free! stream games, videos, and music. That's gonna cut into Jobsies apps store (that he takes 50% from developers from every sale) and music. That said, I see some industries where it will be great like in hospitals putting in patient medical records on the fly, and things like that, or taking orders in cafes and things like that. You cant use it as your main personal computer, its more of a "have one on the side" device.
  10. Hey Ubi, do 21J movement hands fit on an a7750? If all else fails I might just have to but a cheapie to strip it down. What about quartz models? I just need the seconds hand off it.
  11. Foreal man, I hope this is a phase that breitling will get over quickly stop using those damn nascar style numerals.
  12. cool, who did you get the spare dial from if I may ask?
  13. hands not fitting is standard, Asian movements have different sized pins for hands.
  14. yep, and justice for all is the pinnacle of metallica and the genre
  15. Thanks Ubi, I will continue the search, I assume its the same had used on most of the bentley models. Personally I would be happy with any seconds hand that has the Breitling B on the bottom of it.
  16. I need a seconds hand for a Breitling 6.75 and have no idea where to even begin looking. Should I just ask one of the bigger dealers if they can get hold of one for me? How do you guys generally deal with a situation when you need rep parts?
  17. Gonna go with Pink Floyd, but I also enjoy: The Cure The Kinks Queen The smiths The Velvet Underground Franz Ferdinand New Order Muse Radiohead Metallica (up till the black album, never touched anything of theirs after that)
  18. While I do like the SOSF id probably pick the seawolf over it because I love that its thicker. Oh and the stencil numbers
  19. sounds like the minutes hand might not be pressed on right, in which case if it is, its just a matter of opening it up, taking the minutes hand off and pressing it back in the correct position.
  20. that looks great mate!! Damnit I want that strap!! is this the one you ordered? http://www.waccex.de/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=149_155_170&products_id=703
  21. wonder if they will ever make a light version of this legendary piece, Im sure it would sell by the truckload if they did
  22. Tell me about it mate, this hobby is more addictive than crack. The great photos don't make it easy to resist at all.
  23. Yeah just heppened recently (2010) the other names all stay, Avenger seawolf, Avenger Seawolf Chrono, Super Avenger. They just changed the name of the Skyland Avenger to simply Avenger. Dropping Skyland, you can see it on their website its simply called the Avenger.
  24. Congrats Deniz Great photos and an awesome looking watch you got there, its pristine! Gotta put some pics up when you put the leather straps on it, its gonna look sweet.
