That would be my Super Avenger...48.4mm. I love wearing them (I have 3...one white, one blue, and one black) but I need/want something different (from my norm). I own Breitlings, Omegas, B&R, & TAG. No PAM (yet) and no Rolex. Maybe I'll just cave-in on the 111. Then, if I find a nice 233 I can sell the 111. Grrr....I hate this!

Ever hear about the Graham Chronofighter? My buddy has one and it is HUGE! I think you would like it.

Yea...I know them. Kinda cool looking...but Im not a huge fan of Destro watches. They always dig in my arm and piss me off.

Agreed...but my heart says 233...which I cant get at the moment. Thats why the market is coming into play. I want to be able to wear whatever I get lightly and flip it in a few months.

Just get what you like bro, you know not to buy a watch for resale. Chances are you're going to lose money but as long as you enjoy it who cares. Any watch I have is going to my son anyway. I'm not selling or trading anything. Just get what you like and keep it.

I'd say save up for the 233 rather than buying the 111 now just to have something. Sounds like you already have some other nice watches so you can enjoy those while you put money aside for a 233. It'll make the day you receive the 233 all that much sweeter.

That said--do what makes you happy, but if you want a 233, save for that IMO.

^^ I agree with Max I think

Agreed. BUT...this is a special situation. A gentleman who sells watches wants my Nikon lenses (worth 3K). So...I want to jump on the opportunity now...while I have the chance. Hence my conundrum. I figure get my 3K credit now...buy something...and sell it later to get a 233 (plus some cash). Know what I mean??
