giorgio Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 Congrats. That's actually the first chronograph I ever bought. Looks really good on brown croc strap. The hands don't really bother me as much as they seem to bother everyone else, as I think the dial more accurate. Wear it well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UB7 Posted October 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 (edited) Thanks buddy, the hands dont bother me at all either - I was worried about the datewheel being cruddy but the #'s line up perfect so no complaints here However, the all polished ss is hard to keep clean and is a magnet for finger prints etc...Gotta pay some bills im already late for my rent check cause I went overboard this month with all these damm reps! I mean it, no seriously I do!! Edited October 5, 2007 by UB7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 Yeah, the Breitling all-polished bracelet collects scratches a lot... but it's also very easy to polish to "as new condition" with abrasive metal paste. Especially when you don't have to worry about removing the satin finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giorgio Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 My whole life I wanted a Breitling. I had a few crappy fantasy models, along with a couple of Subs, a fake Tag, a bad Oris. I came across a guy from Singapore who said he had a really good Super Avenger (about 2 years ago now). Till then I'd only seen the really bad ones. So I had to have it. I was done buying reps until the two tone ultimate BCE came out with the blue face. Then I was done. Then I saw a 116509 with a black face. Being a Daytona fan, I bought it. Then I was done. Then the Carrera caught my eye so I ordered it from Silix, but he only charges shipping on every other watch so I bought a Tag Indy on the same order. Then I was done...

UB7 Posted October 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 (edited) Thanks! I got it sized OK, not great...A little too loose, if I can take 1 of the end links off, the half sized 1's it will be perfect however i'm having trouble getting that last mini link out, gona just bring it in to have a watchsmith take it out if I cant figure it out...The last link were both sides of the link are screwed in, were as the normal links have a screw on 1 side...Can those links before the clasp be removed or am I having trouble because its not meant too?

b16a2 Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 Very nice, that dial looks very good, the lighting makes it look like the Mother of Pearl dial! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
