Love my super avenger. would love a brown croco strap but I can't justify £400.00 for one.

hollydog, the croco strap is definitely worth the investment. I have one with a folding clasp on my Chronomat and it feels like a completely different watch compared to wearing with the steel.

I have had ago at making my own. But need to finish the buckle side. I bought a vintage croco hand bag from ebay and used the leather from that.

Some great watches here - I particularly like the dealers wall clocks!

Here's mine - my first 'proper' watch after too many years of wearing disposable watches.

I sold 2 other black steel watches because they really were too similar and I wanted other watches more than I did them, so sold the Super Avenger Black Steel and the Seawolf Code Yellow Black Steel, I did wonder about selling the Ti with the UTC but of all people my girlfriend had a bit of a rant at me telling me not to!

The watch that I wear the least is actually the Chrono Avenger 69 (furthest left) but can`t seem to consider letting it go!

Like that colour, is the date at 6 o'clock a new feature as the one above is at 3 o'clock?

I tried one of those on in Moscow. Beautiful watch but I bought an Omega in the end.

Yesterday I came so close to buying a vintage Navitimer. I saw it in the window of a Birmingham shop and I wanted it. I had my credit card out but I just couldn't justify it at the moment.

I will be kicking myself when it's gone. I've never had a Breitling.

Not too big really, certainly not oversize.
