Super Avenger, Chrono Avenger.....which One?

Recommended Posts

Okay, so I'm still searching. Most of the Super Avenger models I've seen don't look enough like the gen but these 2 look very close. Am I missing something??

Breitling Super Avenger SS Black

SS Chrono Avenger

The only thing I can see different is the bracelet style. Does anyone know if Breitling had this style of bracelet before they went with the slanted version??

Thanks!

I have a GEN Super Avenger and ANYONE that's seen a real one would spot that one.

Thanks for the replies!! :)

I'm sorry, I should have been more clear in my post...I meant what are the differences between the 2 reps above and their genuine counterparts. Sorry.

Also, for those who has seen a gen SA what is it that would give it away on these??

A GEN SA case is polished, not brushed.

GEN SA bracelet has polished links with the center a matte finish.

The B-winged logo on the dial is a separate, polished emblem, not printed on the dial.

The dial print is not crisp.

Mine says Breitling then 1884 underneath that, then Chronometre in all caps, then Automatic underneath that, in italics.

Finally, the top register of the chrono is missing the red tick marks.

Date font is WAAAY off.

And that's just at a glance.

Hope this helps.

Chrono Avenger rep is in a whole different league. IMHO, still the closest out of the box Breitling rep. The best part is that the gen dials are widely available inexpensiveley and make it 99% with a relume. Also if you want to frankenwatch it, you can add true Swiss 7750 and I found that the date font on the stock ETA was far closer to the gen. Then again you end up with $500-600 into a rep. :lol: But it is one hell of a rep. :thumbsupsmileyanim: And to this day the only Breitling rep I own.

Yep, okay, thanks!! Hmmm, a little ways to go on that one yet.

Thanks for the tip. I think I've decided to go ahead with the Chrono Avenger (even though it is SS not Titanium) as it does look a closer match than the SA after more looking.

Thanks!
