Estaban Posted October 14, 2006 Report Share Posted October 14, 2006 I have yet to see anyone purchse one of these on any forum. I've always been interested in it because of its size and because it is pretty accurate. Would love to hear from anyone who owns one.

Watchmeister Posted October 14, 2006 Report Share Posted October 14, 2006 I haven't out of two concerns. First, the bezel pearl and pearl holder look noticeably different and the top sub dial on the gens I have seen have a red stripe on the top above the numbers but within the sub-dial. IMHO, they are two obvious give aways. If someone else knows different I would love to hear. I have been wanting one ever since I got my Chrono Avenger. The prinicpal flaws there are fairly correctable with gen dial ($15) and proper lume so I am spoiled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swemoose Posted October 14, 2006 Report Share Posted October 14, 2006 I have had a gen and I can say that the rep is not even close so far. Still kicking myself for selling the gen but I will probably get another. kruzer00, where can you get ahold of a gen dial? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWR Posted October 14, 2006 Report Share Posted October 14, 2006 Isn't the rep Quartz? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JosePR Posted October 14, 2006 Report Share Posted October 14, 2006 those breit reps are still not accurate enough. some have quartz as movement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted October 14, 2006 Report Share Posted October 14, 2006 Swemoose- Tuomii on ebay regularly has the Chrono Avenger dials. I have a spare blue one if you want it. I bought that one accidentally when the AR coat made the dial seem blue. Of course when you superimpose it against the black inner bezel (which is much tougher to find) it is more than a little obvious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chronomat123 Posted October 15, 2006 Report Share Posted October 15, 2006 I just got the old discontinued extremely high quality polished and brushed stainless steel Avenger. Finally tracked one down from one of my buddies. Extremely strong AR, amazing quality watch. Weighs a ton, and I swear the bracelet is better than my genuine Pilot bracelet on my Crosswind and Headwind. Dial is the standard Avenger dial that comes with the Ti Avenger. I have a nice little mod project in action with this one, tho. I'm having the rep Avenger dial refinished so that it has the red markings and silver subdials of a genuine Super Avenger. Should look like this when it's done :-) Also adding a gen rubber strap. Should look amazing. Will post pictures once the ball gets rolling. Anyway, Esteban, the one you're looking at sucks. It has a Chronomat dial, poor quality bezel, and looks to have a plastic crystal. I wouldn't spend my money on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Estaban Posted October 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2006 Chronomat123-The SA available from both Josh and Andrew has a sapphire crystal and seems to have good build quality. Yes, the dial is from a Chronomat, but frankly, Breitling makes so many varieties of their watches and has changed dials like the wind, so who would know. The new and old gen SAs have different bracelets altogether. Here are pics for comparison. I still have not heard of anyone purchasing this watch. pics in order Josh Andrew Gen Gen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
