timbo Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 Hi All, Im afraid im pretty new here as well as knowing nothing about breitling replicas. So please be gentle with me. Ive always wanted a chrono avenger. I dont know why, i suppose all my other watches are safe and small, and i fancy something a bit 'in yer face' for a change. Ive seen a chrono avenger quartz for sale and was wondering if it looked any good. i fancy a reliable quartz for a change, and also id be much happier with a quartz chrono, as apposed to worrying about 7750 problems. Does anyone have any experience of this watch? is it at all accurate (apart from it being a quartz)? Ill post a link to the one im looking at (hope this isnt against the rules). http://www.trustytime88.com/index.php?main...products_id=277 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timbo Posted March 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 Ok guys, im sorry!! It was a very stupid question and i apologise for wasting your time. Now i have actually bothered to download 2 pictures of the different versions and compare them side by side. The face on the quartz is MILES off. Dial spacing is awful and actually completely changes the look of the face. Real shame. I still really want one, especially after seeing it in blood diamond. How are people with the 7750 version finding reliability? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
italiano17771 Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 the current version of the TITANIUM chrono avenger is not that good of a rep. the only descent TI rep is now discontinued. if you dont mind having a SS version, i would suggest that. i know some members gave it a brushed finish to resemble titanium. as for the mvmt...the 6-9-12 layout for the asian 7750 has never given me any problems. i can highly suggest that mvmt...know matter which one you choose.

Pix Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 Hi, Quartz layout cannot imitate the 7750 layout. So if you look for accuracy in replication, that's not the way to go. But for having a quartz Breitling (Navitimer), they can be great watches too. Don't hesitate to go this way if the construction of the rep looks nice and well finished. What is sure IMO is that 168 dollars is too expensive. You can find the same on ioffer and other models between 110 and 130. If you're not confident in buying there (which I fully agree with, especially for someone starting in this hobby), ask one of the boards dealer to hunt one for you. Some offer this service : Ruby, Watchmark (apprentice) and I understood that Eurotimez does it too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
