| Post subject: | Question for Experienced Breitling Buyers |
Hello everyone, I just joined this site and am trying to jump on the Breitling wagon. I'll be honest, though, I don't want to pay $5000 on it. Is it possible to find a second-hand Breitling (preferably, Super Avenger) for around $1,500? After I purchased the watch, I wanted to add a diamond bezel. What do you all think? I am complete delusional? Or, is this a possibility? Thank you, Dennis |

Can you get a used Breitling for $1,500 - yes, will it be a Super Avenger - not unless the watch has issues. |

You aren't going to get a 'Super Avenger like' watch for that money either. The best thing to do is take a look at completed Breitling sales on eBay for around your budget and see if there are any Breitlings that you like. |

Steelfish, Superocean, or Colt. Those have similar design characteristics but no chrono and no where near as big and dominating as the Super Avenger. They can all be had on the pre-owned market for under $2k |

You may be able to find a discontinued used Chrono Avenger (Ti) for around $2,000+ on the sales forums, otherwise the non chrono models in the Aeromarine line would be next best bet. |
