    These have been here a short while but have been too busy to take decent pics. I was this close to getting a new AP RO but in the end feared I'd be afraid to put wear and tear on the bracelet so I went for these two instead:

    I know most of the love in here is for vintage and smaller dials... But this dial has had me smitten for the last two years. I found one left in the state of NY, new from an AD. Its a beast at 48mm, I simply Love it!
    Here's some pics and a comparison with my PO 42mm

    Hey @Frunkinator , even though the love of vintage is strong here...there is still room for new(er) and even Breitling...

    What a beauty! Is that vintage, or 're-issue'?

    The strap is quite nice, too. Did you acquire it separately?

    Ha! Thanks Hijack
    First go around I bought the Avenger since it was slightly smaller. But after two years this pure white dial is what had me sold...

    It's a big watch, don't think I could pull it off, 42mm is my max, but like the styling.:thumbsup:
