great pics laz!! looks you had a nice day. gotta love them breits!
-
i think the blacksteel version is already out. heres a link with some nice pics of the blacksteel.
@doc...maybe you can send these to angus or whoever the dealer is to help out the process.
this is my favorite breitling and once this comes out....if it does come out im all over it.

i think to best help you it would probably be better if you posted some pics. your bracelet/clasp should look like this...
-
if they do rep the skyland i sure as hell hope they do the double ar like they did with the steelfish and the ulitmate bce. this watch is amzing!!
***some pics of the ss version

could you please tell me how is your bezel. is it very loose, or tight? because i bought one a year ago and sent it back because of the loose bezel. so if it is tight, i think i will by another one. i love the blue dial, i prefer the blue of the rep, than the blue of the gen.
surprisingly it was not bad at all. before i bought the watch i had to PM a bunch of members who had the watch and some of them did complain about the loose bezel, although mine was not that bad. not nearly as good as my BCE's, but it wasnt too bad.

Bob has a 22mm, I saw it on his website
ya that will work. 22mm for the steefish. ya he has nice quality straps for cheap. they come pretty stiff, but after you work them in they are perfect. sounds weird, but i use hand lotion to put on the strap to loosen it up.
-
That looks terrific, which size strap does the SA take? I have the Super Ocean and think that Blue Strap would look great but I am not sure which size is right for it....
it will NOT fit. superocean has 22 mm lugs and the SA, bentley & navitimer world have 24 mm lugs.
....thanks for all the comments.
-
Looks great!
where did you get the strap? I would love on for my blue Steely
"bob" straps. they are shipped out of germany. very nice straps for the price.
-
so i got my super avenger last week and didnt really like it on the bracelet so i put it on a black leather, but i thought it didnt look right. after some searching i found a nice navy blue "bob" strap that i think compliments it very nice. what do you guys think??
-
totally agree...well somewhat. not a fan of all the diamonds, but behind all the tacky bling lies a beutiful breitling
...
-
BTW, has the gen AR or not ?
Agreed on the new rep strap, they are amazing (I got 2 of them).
yes the gen has AR. i think every breitling (atleast the newer models) have double sided AR.
-
What is the finish of the ceramic bezel on gen? Polished or brushed? Seems a lot of confusions on this issue. No data addressed to this in Hublot's website though.
the brushed bezel was specifically made for the japan market. this might help...
-
damn usil the more i look at your pic the more i want this watch. i think i have to grab one for that amazing price river has. that AR looks amazing...congrats!!
-
in my opinion you should not get this watch. the pearl looks really bad and its really not accurate at all. if you are on a tight budget i would suggest you save up for the bce with the asian 7750 or alot of times you can find one for sale here at a nice price.
-
beautiful watch my friend!!
i have both the ss hbb and the ceramic and i love them both. we must have the same taste because i am waiting for my IWC CD as we speak. congrats on 2 very nice pieces.the CD looks bigger than the hbb....is this just the picture or is the cd a little bit bigger?
-
this might help...heres the deal, if you dont want to spend $300++ for a different mvmt and lack of AR you should go with the asian version with white dial!! how can you compare a white dial with AR to a black dial without AR. not a fair comparison. darker dials show glare MUCH more than a white dial. the pic below shows 2 breitlings WITHOUT AR. one with a dark dial (lots of refecltions) and the white dial (very little refections).
-
Looks great on the leather, by the way. Enjoy!
thanks my friend. i agree trying to find something accurate was quite a challenge. checking the dealers websites didnt help at all since they all had a watch that wasnt even a super avenger. the lack of ar wouldnt be that bad if i had the white dial. usually a white dial doesnt show off glares as much as a darker dial. after i paid was when i found out the bad news. oh well, i still like it. ever get tired of your white dial let me know.
-
coincidentally my "bob" strap came in today too!! originally bought for the white face, but i dont think it looks that bad.
-
Nice watch, who did you get it from, and you upgraded your grade due to price, so how much did you pay for it?
thanks man. i really like it. i got it from ruby...$229 shipped.

after a long 2 week wait my super avenger is finally here. this by no means is a detailed review, but since i found ABSOLUTELY nothing on any of the forums about this watch i thought i would share a bit...
first of all, since there is absolutely no AR i wanted to get the white face (less glare with a white dial), but after i ordered i found out that the white face was no longer available. i really wanted this watch so i went ahead and got the blue face. in doing my search for some type of review of this watch i didnt find too much, but what i did see was that alot of people thought that the ss chrono avenger was the super avenger. this is not true. the ss chrono avenger, which is a fantasy watch is 44 mm wide and the super avenger is a monstrous 48.4 mm wide with a thickness of just under 19mm. this is a beast of a watch.
**movement- old asian 7750 with 21k bph. this is certainly one of the things that worries me, but for the price of this watch i though i would roll the dice. the second hand at 9 sweeps smoothly and is keeping accurate time so far.
**crystal- said to be sapphire...i personally can't tell any difference, but what i can tell is the lack of AR. after having a couple watches with great AR this is one of the things that bothers me the most.
**size- 48.4 mm wide and 18-19mm thick. this is by far the biggest watch i have ever seen in person. the thickness really adds to the size.
**bracelet- nothing like the BCE...i would compare it to the quality of a navitimer, but i love the look of the bracelet. it is polished with the center link brushed. very sharp look and adds size to the watch since the center link is slightly raised...not that this one needs it.
**overall for the price its great. i would give it a C+ but due to the price i think it deserves a B-. if you like big, chunky watches this one is for you. i personally love breitlings and big watches so this just seemed to be perfect for me.
++++FLAWS++++
1) pearl. of course the pearl is not correct, but it really is not that bad...one of the better ones ive seen.
2) "4" on the 45 marker of the bezel is closed. the 4 is suppose to be open as you will see in the pics.
3) clasp should be polished, but is brushed. nothing a little elbow grease and a cape cod cloth cant fix.
4) NO AR. again...no ar on a breitling. bends me the wrong way, but hell it cost about 6-7% of the real one.
5) Date font. like 99% of the reps of course the date font is wrong. mine is also a little un-centered. i can live with it.
6) i dont know...im doing this kinda quick and im sure there are more, but lets get to the pics!!!
***OH YEAH...THE BLUE IS DIFFERENT THEN ON THE GEN.
===Celebrities that wear this watch-- a couple i know of are Ami James of the show "Miami Ink" and also Criss Angel....the magic guy. pretty cool show if you never saw it.
COMPARISON WITH THE GEN
SIZE COMPARISON****
-
darker dials (black and blue) will show off reflections much more than a white dial. my suggestion is if you went with the asian, which is $135 shipped you should definitely go with the white dial. if you really want the black or blue i would highly suggest to go with the swiss version. i just received an asian with white dial and the reflections arent bad at all....and im pretty anal about AR coating. for a little more than $100 i think its the best rep available....for the money.
-
never saw the polished bezel in person or on ANY genuine watch website. to be perfecttly honest with you i dont even know if it exists as a gen. in my opinion, if you like that why dont you get the black bezel version. one of the best reps out there...and i had the gen to compare it to.

Great siggy, Slay.
thats great!!! didnt realize that was his signature...thought it was the post.
anything we can do to keep the prices down count me in!! hopefully this is being done on all the forums. dont see as much of this discussion on any others.
