Breitling Chrono Avenger - Black - Budget Edition

Recommended Posts

LightGeek

$100 Breitling with a 7750 movement. Wait what? A 7750 Chrono for $100? Sign me up!

 

Expectations were low going into this. Overall, everything is a little flawed but nothing terribly stands out. It's great value for the price!

Remember that people will sooner call you out for not zipping up your pants than the wrong "4" on the dial.

 

There appears to be a coating on the crystal but if it's AR, it's not very effective. The bezel turns too much ease but that's ok. The date sits a tiny bit off but not enough for me to disassemble it (awwww). Finally, the deployant on leather is just a tad big for me so I swapped in some Panatime surplus and it works great.

 

The worst thing about this watch is it's whet my appetite again for larger "Berts" -- they actually wear ok without the burden of a SS bracelet (although the bracelets are usually superb).

Did you confirm that it was actually a 7750 movement? I might pick one of these up and swap the movement into my Blacksteel with a buggered up movement.

Hi LG,

 

Where did you pick up this with a 7750 for a $100?

Surely wasn't from a TD was it?

Another shot of what the lume is capable of. Yes, there is a small errant dot of lume to the left of the pearl on the bezel.

Just picked up one of these for a friend and an amazing watch value. Working 7750 and not a cheap looking or feeling rep in my opinion. I don't care a lot for the strap but my friend likes it and he will be wearing it. You can't go wrong at this price.

I had this watch a while back, it was pretty impressive for the price. My biggest complaint was the sharpness of the wings on the logo on the watch caseback. It rubbed my wrist raw a few times. I had to sand it down a bit.
