Yippee! Finally got my chrono avenger!
Finally got my grail watch, the Chrono Avenger, with blue dial. It is just a beautiful watch. Here's the story of how I got here
June, 2006: I started looking at www.watchseller.com after browsing through various forums, and I found a deal. An Omega SMP Chrono diver with blue dial. It was a steal, and I had to snag it, but still not my grail watch. I was always into auto chronos so it was a start.
Sept, 2006: Looking through TimeZone, I saw a 14060 for sale. I always wanted a Rolex but still not my grail watch.
Oct, 2006: Impulse buy on a Steinhart GMT, still scratching my head on this one.
Nov, 2006: Found a deal at TimeZone for a Breitling SOP, circa 1999 and it was in excellent condition at a very good price. At least we're in the brand that I like now ;D
Nov, 2006: I wanted to trade my SMP chrono for an Avenger but no takers so decided to sell it. It was sold the same day I listed it and I put the payment towards my Chrono Avenger.
I then put the money towards the purchase of the Avenger at a local AD in Toronto (LaSwiss). Got it 23% off their asking price, and taxes in. Woohoo!
It was a long journey... lots of pulling the trigger and lesons learned.
This thing is a beauty.
