turbox7 Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 I'm contemplating on a Breitling Blacksteel - I think the black + red strap in this thread really sold it: http://www.rwg.cc/members/FS-Brand-Avenger...p;hl=blacksteel I know there's the Skyland and the Super Avenger, and read about the numerous versions (v2 is the best?) - but which one is the best out of box and from which dealer? Are there any other differences between the Skyland and Super Avenger other than 1) size, 2) interval markings on the bezel, and 3) sub dials? So far the ones posted in the forums still have the blue AR hue - is it like that on the gen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turbox7 Posted February 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 Do these reps tick loud? My PAM 111 rep is pretty loud... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hooky Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 Do these reps tick loud? My PAM 111 rep is pretty loud... Is that still about the same subject? The ticking pam111 came out of the blue... But anywayzz...., some A6497-2/ ETA 6497-2 make more noise than the other. My PAM177 with Asian Swan Neck 6497-2 made a lot of noice. I let it get a full service from my watch smith (ultrasonic cleaning, oiling, adjusting etc) for around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samurai Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 Still waiting for the Super avenger blacksteel. I guess the Feb end release date doesn't hold good now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanikai Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 Still waiting for the Super avenger blacksteel. I guess the Feb end release date doesn't hold good now. it's supposedly delayed.. gives me time to get the IWC ceramic Top Gun... just left China today ~ this one is made by the HBB maker .. so I'm hopeful it's going to be another great rep !! there may be an issue with the clasp on the SA BS though..that would make it flawed..

jake48 Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 Do these reps tick loud? My PAM 111 rep is pretty loud... All 6497's (the mov'mnt in your 111) tick loud and certainly louder than a 7750 (the mov'mnt in a Skylander) I have both and you can barely hear the ticking of the Skylander.

turbox7 Posted March 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 Is the guilloche on the subdials the same from different dealers? I've noticed that the "tuxedo" style subdials range from very distinct to subtle to non-existent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
