Watchmeister Posted April 27, 2007 Report Share Posted April 27, 2007 This was the first rep that got me excited about Breitling - the 2005 Josh Chrono Avenger. This one has gen dial, Ziggy relume and Swiss movement. It was only a couple of months after I received it that I figured that it needed a polishing to match up the ti to the gen.

Usil Posted April 27, 2007 Report Share Posted April 27, 2007 Tell us about polishing the Titainium. I have often thought that my Breitling Chrono Avenger (early 2006) and my IWC Ing. AMT Titainium would look better if they were polished but I don't think there is any going back once you do this. I have not seen the gens so do not know and the reps look 'grainy' if you look at the pictures members show. I have been hesitant but have done part of a bracelet and it looks smooth and an even grey color - loosing it's graininess appearance.

cskent69 Posted April 28, 2007 Report Share Posted April 28, 2007 Hey - great taste. I have one of those (gen dial). This is a rubbish picture, but i love the watch. The Zigmeister did mine as well (lume too). It needs a new date wheel - as this one has a font which is not so close - but i am willing to wait for that.

b16a2 Posted April 28, 2007 Report Share Posted April 28, 2007 Stunning! I wish I had one of these in my collection. I hesitated just too long, then they went out of production. A must for any Breitling fan! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eunomians Posted April 28, 2007 Report Share Posted April 28, 2007 Real great watch, I was admiring this model the other day at my local AD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted April 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2007 It is a nice watch. I saw the newest version at an AD as well a couple of days ago and that was what inspired me to post the pics. The funny thing is I prefer the old bracelet to the new one on the gen - more manly.

Watchmeister Posted April 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2007 On the polishing issue - because the Breitling has a "polished" finish it takes the polishing well. On the IWC ti's tread lightly but a light polishing does make it truer to gen. Of course we are all ignoring the fact that all ti will darken over time anyhow.
