Fleet Posted February 9, 2012 Report Posted February 9, 2012 Hey guys! Some might know me as a AP guy, and that'd be correct. Now im trying a Breitling, but im a total rookie on them. Does this look good to you?
hackR Posted February 9, 2012 Report Posted February 9, 2012 yup...looks good to me...its a nice v3 edition...enjoy it and wear it well... R
Fleet Posted February 9, 2012 Author Report Posted February 9, 2012 Thanks HackR, gave the greenlight and hopefully I'll be rocking a Breitling next weekend!
maxman Posted February 9, 2012 Report Posted February 9, 2012 One of my favorite reps...I have two. of them. I agree with R...looks very good to me also. Let us know how you like It. I especially want to hear how you like the new Pro2 bracelet. Mike
ile Posted February 9, 2012 Report Posted February 9, 2012 +1 It looks very good. Well formed lume dots and no visible flaws. Wear it in good health.
mandla Posted February 9, 2012 Report Posted February 9, 2012 care to share the dealer PM is you are the shy type...
Fleet Posted February 9, 2012 Author Report Posted February 9, 2012 Thanks guys! It's from Connie, my favorite dealer. It's not that I lack trust of her that I share it here, but mistakes can always occur and better to have it on the safe side as I don't have the Breitling experience. But this seemed to be of great condition, as has the rest of my watches from her!

hackR Posted February 10, 2012 Report Posted February 10, 2012 i find the new Pro2 bracelet a bit on the stiff and sharp side compare to the original Pro2...not by much on the sharpness - but a little...a bit stiffer if you torque down the screws to prevent them from working their way out...

Thanks R...I actually had the same problem with my UN Maxie diver bracelet. A little sanding and oiling has made It one of my favorite bracelets now...a joy to wear. BTW...how are the SEL...the SEL on my older SA bracelets are just plain awesome. The case and bracelet look like one piece...some of the best SEL I have ever seen. Mike
DemonSlayer Posted February 10, 2012 Report Posted February 10, 2012 Very nice I've had mine for over 2 years now in the same dial as yours (except yours has better dots) and it gets regular wear. Was going to ask about the new Pro2 bracelet but then read HackR's response. Wear it in good health!
Navik Posted February 16, 2012 Report Posted February 16, 2012 Great buy, one of my favourite watches! Hope you'll enjoy it! (null)
Fleet Posted February 17, 2012 Author Report Posted February 17, 2012 (edited) Thanks! And Maxman, now I've worn it for a full day, After tightening and shortening the bracelet, I noticed the screwed links were stiff and tight. Those need alittle bit of care from oil and sanding. The clasp is sturdy, but is very tight and locks hard. Might need to sand that a bit so it wont be too tight. But on the wrist I cannot say anothing negative. I had it on all day and it didn't bother me at all. Very comfertable. Edited February 17, 2012 by Fleet

kramerica2 Posted February 17, 2012 Report Posted February 17, 2012 Would anybody be kind enough to point out the flaws on that watch? Not that specific, but V3 Avengers in general. I know my way around Omega, and back in the day could point out any tiny flaw in SOSF, but I no nothing about those Avengers... Thanks a lot.
chronoluvvv Posted February 17, 2012 Report Posted February 17, 2012 are the ELs supposed to hang that loose ?

The "1" on the bezel shouldn't be a flagpole, and the chrono-pushers are too long. But those are very minor issues, that are hard to recognize. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1

I've tried to compare to a gen and couldn't see any difference. EDIT: OK, got it.. wow, that's a very minor flaw, I had to zoom in on the gen in order to see it... Great rep..
