I wear my CSO on a strap 90% of the time because of the high shine of the bracelet. The only near negative I have for the Breitling. It is very accurate and I love looking at the detail on the dial.

I really rate Breitling watches & used to have one a couple of years ago.
In fact my wife told me that it was the only watched, that I have owned that she has truly likwd!!!
Tried one of the BIG Bentley 6.75 watches on, recently and its "Bl**dy" HUGE!!!!!!!
Well on my wrist it was!

Super avenger !!!!

I just got my first Rolex, and I'm trying to get used to how small and light it is.
I love my Breitling super avenger and will be getting the black skyland next, as moby33 shows above.

BTW - after wearing the super avenger, when I tired on the new deepsea, I still thought it was a mid-size watch in comparison...

Wow. I see what you mean. What is that 50mm?

My vintage navitimer.

I've actually been thinking of trading it in for a new avenger or another Rolex

there really is nothing else I've tried on that can compare

My Starliner (along side my SD). It was a wedding gift from my husband and one of the most beautiful watches I've ever seen :)

That is a big and heavy watch! Actually, even my Superocean feels heftier than the Sub, so I can imagine how your watch is!

I have the super avenger and the sky land avenger...wish I had the black case version though, both of mine are polished. Although I am wearing my GMT II as I type this my Rolex gets very little wrist time since moving to Breitling. I bought my wife one a few years ago and her Rolex sits in the winder next to mine!

Everybody is posting such great pictures. What is the secret to photgraphing a watch? Every time I try to do it my pictures turn out terrible. How do you get the lighting correct?

I have a Breitling Chronomat Evo diamond and a Chrono Avenger T1.

Lighting and tripod are the secret to taking close up photos. Also, most P&S (Point and Shoot) cameras have a macro (ability to take close up photos), and it is represented on the dial or menus by a flower.

+1 With the tripod!!! If you're taking high quality photos in macro, every little movement is magnified and can potentially mess up your shot. Try using a tripod first on auto, then try macro. If you're using flash, zoom in at an angle so there's no glare. Those pics I took were without a tripod and flash so the lighting and detail aren't so good.
