I don't know anything about that watch,but it looks badass...Being as everything that catches my eye is usually out of my price range,I'm sure that watch is no exception.
Proprietary U-boat steel
Waterproof to 12,000 meters
Watch case completely filled with teflon oil
7 year battery life
Thermally compensated quartz movement
Currently running at +.05 seconds between daylight savings adjustments.
I wear it all the time and it still looks brand new.

This is mine
Love the Breitling's... I've considered getting a pre-owned model through Tourneau...
The only thing about them (which is true for a bunch of other brands as well) is that a lot of the models are just plain big.
I was going to get the navitimer, their classic, but I am not a big guy and having a watch with a 45 or 46 mm case looks simply ridiculous.
The model I ended up with fit me better (and was quite a bit cheaper too, even though that was not a concern)
If you want pre-owned then don't bother with a store. Find a buyer with a moderate - high post count on here.
Timezone Sales Corner - watches below $5000

That's actually what attracts me the most about the higher end watches. Right now I wear a Citizen Calibre 2100. It has a 46 mm case diameter and a 15 mm case thickness. It weighs 6.56 oz.
It's size and weight were two of the major deciding factors.
My next watch will be as big or bigger, mechanical, and my biggest investment in a timepiece yet

Well, thanks to you guys, and this forum, or www.whatshouldIspendmymoneyonnext?.com, as I like to call it, I proudly took possession of a brand new Breitling Super Avenger yesterday!
48.44 mm, Air Force Blue dial with silver subdials... I love it!
here's a quick shot of it:

I have this one..
As far as recoil damaging a watch, I think we would all have bigger medical problems if that happened.

I just got mine back from being completely repaired and overhauled. It sat dead in a drawer since about 1975..

Just out of curiosity, who did the work for you?

Watchmaker in Milford. Barry Marcus.
Did a great job. Cleaned everything, got it running replaced the circuit and even gave a 1 year warranty on his work! You probably know that most people will not even touch these bizarre beasts. He also fixed a Roamer and replaced a battery in a Rado at the same time. All work was done well. Not fast, but done right. He has an Enzo of mine that he is doing some work for me now.
I would definitely reccomend.
