Breitling Avenger Bandit Opinions?

[aplume400]

I bought my Breitling Avenger Bandit about 4-5 years ago, brand new - full set, smokin' price. Over the years I noticed the resale value on this particular watch hasn't increased or decreased at all. I wanted some perspective on this - is it because it's titanium, it's a Breitling, no demand, matte finish, etc?

I absolutely love the watch and consider it my weekend warrior, especially if I'm doing an activity where I'm concerned about another watch getting scratched or nicked.

If you have a deep dislike for this watch, what's your favorite "sh*t kicker" watch?

What exactly are you asking here? 99.9% of Breitlings won't increase and almost all will decrease, significantly. I bet your watch indeed unfortunately has decreased in resale value over the years.

Exactly this; even if you see them listed for a good price, chances are they're selling for less. It's a great watch but like most Breitlings, it's going to lose value.

My favorite beater watch is my Breitling Colt Skyracer. The breitlight case is perfect for a daily beater.

I'd agree with that. My light blue Endurance Pro is my beater.

I used to own the Avenger Bandit, it’s essentially an updated chrono avenger, ‘Blood diamond’ watch, they are very underated.

I figured I paid a low enough price to ($2,700 BNIB & full set) that I would see a tiny increase, but you're right as far as I can tell. Either way, still love the watch.
