You guys are funny

I found myself a Chrono Avenger - pre-loved and save me $800 from a new one, and its only a month old.

It was bought from a grey market dealer, but still has the two years warranty.

Should be coming in 10 days, got the tracking info and scanned image of the USPS receipt - bought it from a fellow in the US Army stationed in South Korea, he is an Apache helicopter pilot. Great guy to deal with.

Photos from the seller...

Vernon dude, that's one sweet watch. We were in a few Breitling AD's this weekend and niether had one of those. I was looking forward to seeing one. If I were going to get a Breitling, it would be either the CA or the Steelfish
