elisiX Posted January 26, 2009 Report Posted January 26, 2009 Hi All, Had a little time this past weekend so I took a few fresh pictures of my Genuine Super Avenger. Really wasn't happy with the pictures I took when the watch first arrived so hopefully these are a little better. This watch has been such a pleasure to wear. Being an absolute bling machine, it does get alot of attention but hey - what else do you buy a watch like this for? I aint flying anywhere or piloting any jets anytime soon. Its quite hard to really capture the white dial accurately. In most pictures it looks to be such a pure white, and it is I guess but its also got a metallic finish to it which is hard to describe. Believe me when I say the genuine SA is worth every damn penny (especially when you consider the cracker deal I got on it). Cheers, Jay
-EZ- Posted January 26, 2009 Report Posted January 26, 2009 Love the baton dial. It's funny, once I wore one of these the 45mm PO which I used to think was too big all of a sudden became inadequate.
b16a2 Posted January 27, 2009 Report Posted January 27, 2009 The batons on the white dial is the best combination in my opinion. The white dial with numbers looks a little dated in my opinion, whereas the batons help 'lift' the watch completely! Good to see you posting over here too Elisix
By-Tor Posted January 27, 2009 Report Posted January 27, 2009 Congrats man, what a stunner! I love this wrist shot!
skjalg Posted January 28, 2009 Report Posted January 28, 2009 Impressively few scratches man! My soon 1 yr old gen skyland is scratched up everywhere.. and I have never had any "accidents" with it, just normal use. Thats the polised bracelet for ya Great photos, wear it well!
elisiX Posted February 27, 2009 Author Report Posted February 27, 2009 (edited) Took a couple new pictures today of my Breitling Super Avenger. Here's a couple I liked. Pic 1 looks bloody nice at 2560x1600. Infact I think its one of the best pictures i've ever taken. Looks fantastic on a 30" display. Here's a large version.

mwee Posted February 27, 2009 Report Posted February 27, 2009 Beautiful pics! I am really getting to like the Breitlings more and more especially with bracelet. BTW Jay, how big are your wrists? Just want to see how big these Breitlings wear? Also, how big are these?
elisiX Posted February 27, 2009 Author Report Posted February 27, 2009 I think my wrist is 7".. maybe 7 1/4. The SA is 48.6mm or something like that.
mwee Posted February 27, 2009 Report Posted February 27, 2009 Thanks! My wrists are also about 7". But wow, that is a huge watch! Looks good on your wrist though. It is a looker thats for sure!
Toadtorrent Posted February 27, 2009 Report Posted February 27, 2009 The SA is big. It is one of the most beautiful Breitlings I think...I just wish I had arms big enough to wear it.
elisiX Posted February 27, 2009 Author Report Posted February 27, 2009 While the SA feels perfect on the wrist to me, if it were 1-2mm larger, I wouldn't wear it. The curve of the lugs is perfect with my wrist knuckles. And the bracelet fits perfectly in there. I've seen some with an SA and the bracelet curves inward to their wrist from the lugs and its just wrong.
Dave123 Posted February 27, 2009 Report Posted February 27, 2009 Fantastic pics Jay,the SA is great value for the money no question,the best deal in 'high end' watches.
nasosn Posted February 27, 2009 Report Posted February 27, 2009 A great purchase indeed, the second gen awesome watch that appears on our forums the last few days...! The first being that of Dave123's the Breit for Bentley GMT! Congrats guys enjoy them in health
krpster Posted February 28, 2009 Report Posted February 28, 2009 Beautiful! Best "B" there is! That version with the tick marks instead of the numerals is so classy. Wear it well.
turbox7 Posted March 4, 2009 Report Posted March 4, 2009 Great pieces! So the Gens have the blue hue on the glass too?
Watchmeister Posted May 10, 2009 Report Posted May 10, 2009 Batons. I am hoping to build my first franken SA to complete my franken triumvirate - ti chrono avenger, black steel skyland and the SA. Most importantly, great watch. Loving the pics.
elisiX Posted May 11, 2009 Author Report Posted May 11, 2009 That will be a great little trio then Kruzer. Im waiting on the SA BS rep to show itself!
t200 Posted May 11, 2009 Report Posted May 11, 2009 I just picked one of these up today, absolutely gorgeous!! Just a quick question, is the crown on this watch as bad as the UPO? ie. will the threads strip after continually adjusting the time? I ask this because this watch is toooooooo big to fit in my watch winder lol Cheers, t200
yodap Posted May 11, 2009 Report Posted May 11, 2009 I have a V2 Skyland (same manufacturer), and the thread seems to be very well made, and solid. I think you won't have any problems. Greetz.
BRONTE500 Posted May 11, 2009 Report Posted May 11, 2009 That white dial is the way to go. Absolutley stunning!
elisiX Posted May 11, 2009 Author Report Posted May 11, 2009 This is a gen guys.. no thread stripping here. I hope
Raivotauti Posted May 12, 2009 Report Posted May 12, 2009 I have three rep SA's and each thread is f?*ked up.
