italiano17771 Posted April 9, 2008 Report Posted April 9, 2008 what you guys think? i really like the new dials with the stick markers. hopefully one day we will have a descent rep.
anton Posted April 9, 2008 Report Posted April 9, 2008 I could live without this version. Although the current version is being overshadowed (oh the irony!) by the Skyland, I liked the elegance of the polished numerals and the "Automatic" script.
poopypants Posted April 9, 2008 Report Posted April 9, 2008 i surely hope they release a chrono avenger-like or skyland-like in a version like this! i still think they need to update the bezel... maybe an insert?!?! ceramic maybe?!?!
UB7 Posted April 9, 2008 Report Posted April 9, 2008 I love it, but i like the new super ocean even better, might just have to pick 1 up
italiano17771 Posted April 9, 2008 Author Report Posted April 9, 2008 i still think they need to update the bezel i have to agree with ya there. i would have thought something would have changed. still think they look pretty damn good though!
anton Posted April 9, 2008 Report Posted April 9, 2008 i surely hope they release a chrono avenger-like or skyland-like in a version like this! i still think they need to update the bezel... maybe an insert?!?! ceramic maybe?!?! Do you think anyone would take the watch seriously as a "tool" watch if it had a ceramic bezel?
Dave123 Posted April 9, 2008 Report Posted April 9, 2008 (edited) Given the choice,i would still stick with the numbers....the sticks look cheaper,imo.... probably easier for the rep guys to make a correct stick marker version though..... Edited April 9, 2008 by Dave123
Corgi Posted April 9, 2008 Report Posted April 9, 2008 It's a chronomat evolution with a different crown and steelfish bracelet...
Dizzy Posted April 9, 2008 Report Posted April 9, 2008 These new super avengers actually look VERY nice in real life. They have a better feel to them than the old one. Its hard to explain but it looks and feels more "expensive" than the old model. it has more of a feeling that the higher end Bentley models have. I had the oportunity to play with one for a bit last week and its very comfortable and the new "Pilot II" (I believe thats the name) bracelet is a 100% improvement over the cubical looking link bracelet on the old model. This would be a great model for GZ to replicate... Angus are you listening? Can you pass along a message for us that the people want a BCE quality Super Avenger!!

If you mean the 2008 models have a different feeling than the 2006 models then I know what you mean. The 2008's are not much improved over the 2007 except for the dial; essentially everything else is left unchanged. The Pro II, although also an improvement in design over the previous Professional in many aspects (streamlined links being one of them), still lacks a diver's extension clasp. That is what is missing on what should be a diver's watch, IMO.
Dario33 Posted April 9, 2008 Report Posted April 9, 2008 (edited) I like the new models, but I like the existing SA and SFSO even more. Edited April 9, 2008 by Dario33
ExtraExtra Posted April 9, 2008 Report Posted April 9, 2008 Given the choice,i would still stick with the numbers....the sticks look cheaper,imo.... Agree. The arabic markers gives it the right balance given the size.
lanikai Posted April 10, 2008 Report Posted April 10, 2008 I think I'm sending my 06 model to get Double AR'd.. anyone know if lello DW will fit in the 06 SA ?? the bexel is off on that one though.. closed 4 ... but I think the souble AR on that crystal (with it thickness).. will look pretty good.. thanks IT for posting the pics .. @UB.. you'll probably pick up the genuine SOSF (new model) but i wonder how long before this is a rep.... close to the new year perhaps..
ChronoKing Posted April 11, 2008 Report Posted April 11, 2008 I have to say, I much prefer the 07 as well. Does the subdial spacing look funny to anyone else?
dluddy Posted April 11, 2008 Report Posted April 11, 2008 I like the current versions better, especially the SOSF
DuDro Posted April 11, 2008 Report Posted April 11, 2008 I think I'm sending my 06 model to get Double AR'd.. anyone know if lello DW will fit in the 06 SA ?? It should if your '06 SA is powered by an Asian or Swiss 7750. Would be a great improvement over the stock date fonts!
