RRknight Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 Hi, I'm about to pick this SA up for $2500. Is this Gen or Rep and is it worth $2500? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sneed12 Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 If you're not sure if it's worth $2500, why are you paying $2500? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andreww Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 Problem with the Super Avengers is that you can put a gen dial and Bezel on them and you wouldn't know the difference without opening them up. From what I can see, that watch appears to be genuine, but I would ask for a movement shot to be safe. Also, in your pictures the watch does not appear to be running. Have him take a couple of pics with it running so you can be sure. As for price, I have no idea what kind of value it has. Pictures are terrible so its hard to tell the condition. Does he have box and papers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RRknight Posted June 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 Update. I just picked it up and was able to negotiate down to $2300. It came with all papers, box and manual. I have a question about the bezel. When I rotate the bezel, I don't hear any clicking noise like my Gen Blackbird or Seawolf. Is that normal?

Does he have box and papers? yeah he posted on rwg saying that the papers looked legit. As a few people said over there; he should of met at the AD since it was a face to face deal... my response on rwg goes hand n hand with your comment... "if worst comes to worst at least you got a gen dial out of the deal " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike on a bike Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 RRknight I hope it is gen, I am not even close to telling the dif. and as others more learned have said it is a tough call (easy mod i gather) Enjoy it that is all that counts wear it for many years in good health.

RRknight Posted June 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 (edited) Good News! I just came back from the AD and the watch is 100% gen. The click spring was broken and it only cost me $45 to repair it. However, they did say it will need servicing in 2-3 years. So I did score a gen SA!

RRknight Posted June 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 (edited) Here are some pics from my phone. Here's the broken click spring. It looks like the tab is bent. I might be able to bend it back and make it a spare. Had it cleaned. Damn! This watch is a beast. Looks silly on my wrist and now I look like a gangsta. Adding to my collection.

sneed12 Posted June 9, 2012 Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 Yeah, as much as I like them, I can't wear a 48mm case. It looks like I strapped a hockey puck to my wrist. Those things are massive. Cool catch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
