www_watch Posted July 17, 2006 Report Posted July 17, 2006 Joshua just posted a new stunner. Breitling Super Avenger! Yes..... there are still some flaws.... but hey.... THIS THING MUST WEIGH A TON!!! I´d really like to see a pic of this BAD BOY on the scales.
dadog13 Posted July 17, 2006 Report Posted July 17, 2006 it looks so nice...altough i prefer the non chrono version of the avenger...and in titanium...
zbig Posted July 17, 2006 Report Posted July 17, 2006 (edited) Much different to the genuine. I will wait for better one. Genuine: Edited July 17, 2006 by szumi
Quarks Posted July 17, 2006 Report Posted July 17, 2006 I wouldnt mind getting this one but I am waiting on something else more interesting ... which I hope will be out real soon.
Chronus Posted July 17, 2006 Report Posted July 17, 2006 I can't justify getting this after I already have an Avenger Seawolf and Chrono Avenger, both in titanium...
AMK000 Posted July 17, 2006 Report Posted July 17, 2006 Here is a good link of a white dial one (... couldnt find a gen black dial with black subs). http://www.redfingerprint.com/watches_deta...A13370WHTSSPROF Other than the color , Joshua's is not that far off.
crystalcranium Posted July 17, 2006 Report Posted July 17, 2006 Hey, the water resistance engraving on the back is correct 300m!!! Nice watch, minor flaws and a major projectile!
swemoose Posted July 17, 2006 Report Posted July 17, 2006 Too bad it's the Avenger dial instead of the Super Avenger dial.
www_watch Posted July 17, 2006 Author Report Posted July 17, 2006 (... couldnt find a gen black dial with black subs). I´m afraid it doesn´t exist.... I would prefer it with polished case and Professional II bracelet.
mikellem Posted July 17, 2006 Report Posted July 17, 2006 Here is a good link of a white dial one (... couldnt find a gen black dial with black subs). http://www.redfingerprint.com/watches_deta...A13370WHTSSPROF Other than the color , Joshua's is not that far off. From what I can see.. The new Super Avenger is available 3 ways... White dial w/ white sub dials.. dark blue w/ white sub dials.. black w/ white sub dials.. Here is a link that you can view all 3 models.. http://www.authenticwatches.com/superavenger.html

Bignasty Posted July 17, 2006 Report Posted July 17, 2006 Here is the Gen Super Avenger I sold a few months ago. Great watch, super heavy, and very tough! The new version Josh offers is much better considering his previous version was a quartz model. Looks like the same case, bracelet, bezel, and all just an improved movement. This rep could be made much more accurate simply by polishing it up with a Cape Cod Cloth! Cheers, Jon
www_watch Posted July 17, 2006 Author Report Posted July 17, 2006 This rep could be made much more accurate simply by polishing it up with a Cape Cod Cloth! The Cape Cod will do the whole job from brushed to polished?
Bignasty Posted July 17, 2006 Report Posted July 17, 2006 The Cape Cod will do the whole job from brushed to polished? You could do it if you had the patience! You could also use a dremel to do much of the work. The rep would still have flaws but would be much more accurate if polished. There has never been a brushed Super Avenger. Great watch though. Very big like th new Breitling for Bentley 49mm in my Avatar but it is sportier! Cheers, Jon
swemoose Posted July 17, 2006 Report Posted July 17, 2006 I don't know how hard you'd have to brush the watch to get the right dial.......
Guest TTK Posted July 18, 2006 Report Posted July 18, 2006 (edited) I have a genuine Super Avenger....and the original 7750 replica....on my rep and this one......the sub dials are wrong on all counts.....as is the dial colour....the numerals should be polished...and....the casework should be highly polished..( chromelike)......but it's a helluva replica and really stands out on your wrist.....without the garishness of the 47mm Bentley....it looks more like an 'instrument'......than a pice of jewellery...! If truth be told....I actually prefer the replica.....the muted dial colours and the hands are more appealing to me than the original. Here's the gen and my rep.....! Edited July 18, 2006 by TTK
Bignasty Posted July 18, 2006 Report Posted July 18, 2006 Neil, I agree 100% on the Super Avenger being more of an 'instrument' than the Bentley models. Both are very nice watches in fact there aren't many Breitlings that I would turn my nose up at! Cheers, Jon
ehtolcad Posted July 18, 2006 Report Posted July 18, 2006 for sure this one doesn't scream i am a rap star as much as the bentley does...it seems understated, even at 49mm!
Quarks Posted July 18, 2006 Report Posted July 18, 2006 Jon, that is a nice super avenger you had!! It is a shame you sold it as it looks remarkable from the pics. I bet it looks even better in person.
www_watch Posted July 18, 2006 Author Report Posted July 18, 2006 Here's the gen and my rep.....! Hi! That´s looking more like the regular Avenger Chrono..... Maybe wrong pic? BTW.... is this baby missing one of those tiny screws on the bezel at five o´clock? Anyway.... GREAT watch and pic.
Guest TTK Posted July 18, 2006 Report Posted July 18, 2006 (edited) @www watch.....I never post the wrong pictures.........this is NOT the regular Chrono Avenger.....the CA is only 44 x 17.60mm......the SA is 48.40x18.60mm ...the CA is also only available in titanium...whereas the SA is all stainless steel and with high lustre polished finish......and yes.....there is a screw missing from mine at the 5 position.....testament to the quality of the forger's art on this model......virtually all other Breitling cases have moulded screws.....this version has operational screws......as well as the "B" symbol between 11 and 12 marker.....! I should say that in every way this is a Super Avenger....with the exception of the Chrono Avenger dial......and yes it's a beautiful watch....I won't sell this one....! Edited July 18, 2006 by TTK
Bignasty Posted July 18, 2006 Report Posted July 18, 2006 The screws come out on these reps often. I mean the Seawolf SS & Ti, Chrono Avenger Ti, and I guess now the Super Avenger reps. Easiest and best remedy is to apply Loctite to each individual screw before strapping it on! Same goes for all PAM reps as well as many others with screws! Cheers, Jon
