The Breitling Watch Source Forums

well yesterday i went to my jeweler and he had just gotten some breitling in.so i decided to put a $1000 on a breitling super aveneger(white face).but now i come to look at pictures online and think the thickness is too much.but my jeweler said it a good watch to get a big diamond bezel which i want.is their any other breitling out their with a big face but not as thick and is good for a nice size diamond bezel?thanks for your help guys.

the bentley models have a equally big face, and are perfect for diamond bezels. But then again, there somewhat thick too.

richyrich if you want a tad bit smalled face but the same "look" I might recommend checking out the chronomat evolution with silver face. You can get a nice size custom bezel in diamonds on there also. The evo is a tad bit more expensive than the SA though.

I personally think the Bentley's don't look good with Diamond bezels. The best looking BIG watch with diamonds is the Super Avenger. Otherwise I would move to the Chronomat Evo.

YEA BUT I WAS LOOKIGN AROUND AND I HAVENT SEEN ANY BEZELS FOR ANY OTHER MODELS BESDIES THE SA AND THE CROSSWIND AND THE EVOLUTION.TAHST WHY I WAS WONDERING IF IT WAS TOO HARD FOR THEMTO MAKE A BEZEL FOR THEM.

I don't know exactly which dials that come with factory diamonds - the SA and the Evo are the two most common but that doesn't mean there are no other available. If you make a custom bezel your jeweller should be good enough to put diamonds on any bezel. I agree with admin - the best big watch for this is the SA. I'm not sure you actually tried it on (from your post) - do so first. The thickness is something you quickly get used to. If you still think that's too thick, I'd (as admin said) also go for the Evo. In my opinion any other model can quickly become a little too much.

thanks i will try it on again and compare it to the evo.i will let you guys know which one i will stay with.

WELLL I WENT TODAY AND PUT SOME MORE MONEY AND DECIDED TO STAY WITH MY FIRST CHOICE WHICH WAS A SUPER AVENGER.ONCE HE SHOWED ME ONE WITH A 8 CARAT BEZEL I SAID IM STAYIN WITH THIS ONE AND NOW DOWN GRADING TO THE EVOLUTION.

So did you decide to stay with the SA or "downgrade" to the Evo???

I'm looking at my 2nd Breitling...but having a hard time deciding between the SA and the Navi world. I have the Evo which I love, I feel the SA looks too similar to the Evo so I think I may go with the Navi World.

Blasphemy!



The Super Avenger is a superb piece. For the price, it's well worth the money, and the styling is one of a kind. You'll get used to the size! The Super Avenger can be fitted with a diamond bezel too!

As a previous disliker of the SA, I now own one and absolutely love it! It's a great model and as Brian said you get used to the size very quickly. (Although personally I'd leave the diamonds where they belong - on women's earings! - but that's just me! )

I'm not a huge fan of diamonds on a watch, but I've seen a few Evos here on the forum I REALLY like with a little ice around the edge.

I must admit I do have a respect for Ron's Evo with the grey dial and the diamond bezel. It's nicely understated.
