smc Posted March 1, 2012 Report Posted March 1, 2012 Hey all. My skyland blacksteel v2 has been my beater workhorse (including scuba diving lol) but it finally gave up and i'm looking to upgrade. The DLC coating is wearing slightly on the sharp edges of the lugs and bezel but still doesn't look bad. Quite surprising! Has anyone done a review on the new SA blacksteel? It's kinda tempting. Water resistance would be a must for me though. Also, does anyone know the model number of the asian 7750? there's an importing company near me (ontario canada) that has an asian watch movement catalog but I have no idea what model I should order because it doesn't list them as "asian 7750 clones put in reps" lmao oh btw the movement would be like $70 canadian or so if i can chose the right one. Thanks, smc
andreww Posted March 2, 2012 Report Posted March 2, 2012 If you are thinking of the same watch supply place I am, the one in Mississauga, just call them and ask for the asian 7750. Its about $100 as I recall, but I have no idea if its 21 or 28k.
Belgium Posted March 3, 2012 Report Posted March 3, 2012 I'm also interested in a review. I've a blacksteel skyland avenger. But it's a little bit small for my wrist... So a blacksteel super avenger will be a great replacement. I'm a little bit worried about the bezel (the clicks) and the lume of the dial and the bezel. And ofcourse water resistant.
Snpr9696 Posted March 6, 2012 Report Posted March 6, 2012 I just ordered the current H factory avenger black steel. I'll let ya know when it gets here.
opti Posted March 6, 2012 Report Posted March 6, 2012 sweet, cant wit to see it, really impressed with the H factory SA's, saving my pennies
smc Posted March 6, 2012 Author Report Posted March 6, 2012 Hey Andrew, it's been a year since i was on their website and I can't find it now lol. can you pm it to me pls? thanks

Thanks, smc I owned the gen the first SABS was made from,wasnt impressed with either...LOL. Novelty watch.
wothrottle Posted March 9, 2012 Report Posted March 9, 2012 just received the new SA BS, quality is great, water resistance tested from dealer with pics I´ve got and lume is outstanding, best rep lume I ever saw, better than my DSN panerai. bezel is nice and firm, DLC is great. If you are ultra picky you might say the numbers could be a little crisper, as the rep numbers are pressed, gen seems to be cut and glued. for AR I don´t know the gen too well, but when comparing to my hublot king the ar is a little weaker, but good none the less. other than that I can´t find flaws, really nice watch and more casual than my regular SA.
Belgium Posted March 11, 2012 Report Posted March 11, 2012 Is this version? http://www.puretimewatch.com/product/super-avenger-blacksteel-h-maker-on-or-rubber-strap-a7750/ How is the bezel? Is it thight/strong or loose? Thnx
smc Posted March 11, 2012 Author Report Posted March 11, 2012 looks awesome. can't wait for my order to arrive

smc Posted March 14, 2012 Author Report Posted March 14, 2012 What I don't understand is why the rep manufacturers can't make the bezel work the same as the gen. Am I missing something? Seems like a pretty easy proposition to me.

Seems like a pretty easy proposition to me. I'm starting to believe they always leave out a few details so that we constantly buy upgraded versions.
