HauteHippie Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 Pics could be better too, but here we are.... Gen dials + rehaut rings The Zigmeister lumed hands ETA Swiss 7750 in big blue Breitling B13 in black batons Gen rubber divers (although they look awfully different for some reason) Prom shot: Misc: FWIW, the rep DW isn't perfect compared to the gen.... But it's pretty close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watchmeister Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 Great shots. I am loving that black dial too. Never seen it before. Wear those well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HauteHippie Posted April 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 The blue dial is much more impressive in person than in these lousy photos. The subdials have a nice shimer to them and the contrast against the Yankee blue dial is very sharp. The black baton dial is the 2008 super avenger dial that, according to rumor, is going to be discontinued. So it could be somewhat of a rarity soon.

alanytical Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 Very nice pictures. I never grow tired of the Franken SA. I'm still rocking the blue batons 5 days a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krpster Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 Nice SA's Chief! Love the batons in black Wonder why the straps are different....made in different years perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HauteHippie Posted April 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 Nice SA's Chief! Love the batons in black Wonder why the straps are different....made in different years perhaps? Yea I dunno... Got them from the same guy who gave me that explanation (different years). Still it seems a little fishy. The black one is thicker with more pronounced lettering. The blue one is thinner and more comfy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grilly Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 Those are beautiful. I'm trying to get started on a SA project of my own. I want to go While Batons on a gen rubber diver. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazarini Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 Thats beautiful... like the other said the black one is my favorite i don't fancy the Arabic numerals that much on the SA... Wear them well Laz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdkno Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 Yeah the deal with the straps is true. When I went to the AD to get a strap they had the black 22mm version like your blue one with the less pronounced lettering as well as a few blue ones with the more pronounced lettering. The only black one they had with the thicher lettering was 24mm. I asked why they were different and he said the less pronounced lettering strap are the new ones and the bolder ones are old.

Ok, well that's good to know. But now, of course, I wish the black was the less pronounced and the blue was the more pronounced version given that the baton dial is the newest version. Oh well. @DT - Don't abandon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdkno Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 Hey Chief do you have a source for these dials or do you get them the same as everyone else from ebay?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HauteHippie Posted April 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 No I didn't get them off EBay. I had a really good source for Breit parts for a short time but that has dried up. I did roll the dice with the B13, though, and bought that off Ebay about a year ago. Got it for a steal too, and it's perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babola Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 Great result, chieftang :-) The A/R is also phenomenal. Hope the bezel removal on these didn't give you too much grief ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
