Stephane Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 Hi All, The Breitling Sisters: the story is after the pictures. The Gen is on the left just in case you didn't notice, but I'm sure you did. On the right, the rep (a fantasy model) but quite a good rep to my opinion at least ;-) March 21st, 2006, I order a Baume & Mercier Classima Chrono at my regular jeweller (not an AD). September 2006 the Baume & Mercier is still not there He can't tell me why but keep saying "I will call Geneva today and check it out". Bullshit as one can get it in 8 days from a web based dealer without calling the mother company of course. Anyway. He says "I have a great Breitling for you and it's a fantastic opportunity". 1.400€, new and with full warranty from today ! It was from a customer that changed his mind, he said. I never liked these Breitling but say I will think about it. I call him back after 24 hours and propose 1.200 € He says yes. I didn't really want the watch and propose it to a buddy. He ended paying 950 € for that Avenger by selling an Omega that he didn't like at all to the jeweler. Now, my buddy wears this watch every day and I never got my Baume & Mercier. I never liked the TT but like the chrono pusher buttons of the Avenger better than the ones from the CE. But there ain't no SS Avenger except reps, of course. So, I decided to get a Breitling rep from Andrew, just for fun, and changed jeweler. Cheers Stephane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b16a2 Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 The Chrono Avenger is one of my favourite Breitlings! In actual fact, the rep doesnt look too bad on a strap, it's less obvious that it's Stainless Steel having the brushed bezel and lack of very shiny bracelet! They're both beautiful! Wear them well!

Dario33 Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 Very nice pairing -- wear them well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrgod Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 A good story, and great pictures. The replica is a nice watch in itself, except for the slightly odd "B" on the crown. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
