Tricket- believe it is a Breitling Super Avenger?

Was hoping to get 2k for the Capeland but would settle at $1800 probably. Otherwise I'd just keep it. I just don't wear the darn thing and as I buy new pieces I'm trying to stay at a reasonable count.

By the way, the PAM 212 is sweeeet.

It's a Breitling Bentley for sure, from there you'd be guessing, but it is probably not a big date. Maybe the 6.75

The more I look at it the more I think it might be the GT, the 6.75 is a pretty big watch, 48mm or something, maybe 46.

whats up guys.

this watch def falls into the affordable category, but i am just getting my feet wet as far as watch collecting goes. i just picked up my first seiko 5 (automatic) that resembles the GS. i believe it is around 38 mm. it is in the mail, i should be receiving it in a few weeks.

i posted my first watch ITT about a month ago as a college grad gift to myself, but the photo was stock. here are some real shots. bulova marine star, 12 diamonds with a mother of pearl dial that is not visible in these pics.

i would appreciate it if you guys could recommend some other bands for either of these watches

I don't really go for Hublot, personally, but I like this one better than most and had to post it just for pvn, because they aligned the screws this time:

Wow the screws are aligned, maybe Hublot is changing its ways?

This is much, much better than the other Hublot CF skeleton they came out with.

The strap is herpes though, but whatever, that **** is nice.

I have this one. It was 400€ I think and I really like it. Wouldn't really feel comfotable wearing a watch any more expensive than that...

Anyone got any suggestion for non-plastic and ugly watches with heart rate monitors? Thanks!

The Euro 2012 Hublot watches were pretty horrific IMO

Also available in red...

The blue is obviously terrible, but when I look at that my biggest issue is the not so subtle copy they did off AP. I've never been one that complained about the HBB/ROO similarities, and frankly I think Hublots in general look better

but look at that watch you just posted

What other watch besides these new APs has those giant ass pusher guards?

I'd think this was a case of Cadillac/GMC if I didn't know better. ****

Speaking of AP, I saw this the other day for the first time and thought it was incredibly cool.

What does that have to do with AP? edit: got it

The numbers should line up on a $200,000 watch.

Yeah, sorry, I didn't exactly make that very clear. Lol @ numbers lining up - not sure if serious. It's not the prettiest watch I've ever seen but that wasn't my point!

Where did you get the $200k from? I didn't look for a price.

In the vid the numbers didn't look like they lined up. Maybe it's the angle.

I think it depends on what you mean by "line up". If you're looking straight down at it I am pretty sure they all line up on the horizontal axis.

Did you watch the video above?
It appears to be straight on and the left minute number seems to be a little low and
the right minute number seems to be slightly crooked in the counterclockwise direction.

pretty sure the camera in the video is slightly below the plane through the middle of the numbers and the offset you see is because one dial is beneath the other.
