By-Tor Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 (edited) If there's one watch brand that always makes me scratch my head about all those different models it's gotta be Breitling. Spotted this in Joshua's site and it's hands down the best looking Breitling rep there is (imho). I've been waiting for Chronomat a long time but since the rep factories aren't interested in repping this popular model I could easily settle with Super Avenger. The problem is... I haven't been able to find a genuine counterpart to this one: It looks almost like this Windrider Chromat evolution... but with different pushers, bracelet and crown. Does this genuine model of Super Avenger exist... or is this a half-fantasy watch? Actually I'm not even sure I care... would like to get that one. But I'm just puzzled...

Bignasty Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 First picture is the newest SA rep out. The case, bracelet, and back are all much better but the dial and hands are totally off. Hopefully its a sign of better things to come. Please oh please let it be the signs of a Chronomat Evolution rep! Cheers, Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted August 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 (edited) Ditto. This is my all-time favourite Breitling. I think it's Chronomat Evolution??? Everything should be easy with this one. Default 7750 subdial arrangement, etc. What the hell is keeping them from doing this rep?

zbig Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 Chronomat have case diameter 43,7 mm. Super chrono avenger have case 48,4 mm. I'm always waiting for chronomat it's most beauty watch. And it's fantasy watch his name is Super chronomat avenger:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted August 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 Thanks Szumi, that's what I thought. It's still a great looking watch. Talked to Precious Time about Chronomat a while back and he said that it's an "upcoming project" for the factories... whatever that means. I saw a black genuine Chronomat on a sleazy lawyer that I know and it was truly impressive. I've been obsessed with it since then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I have two: avenger chrono ss (fantasy but very nice), and navitimer black 3, 6, 9. Super chrono avenger is too big for my wirst.

shultz Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 When I saw that new super avenger I was impressed firstly. But then I noticed the strange dial which of course seems to be something chronomat or what ever. But I guess the super avenger rep will be a truly good base for a frankenwatch project with gen dial. I realized a franken avenger titanium by swapping gen dial, swiss 7750 and gen hands. But unfortunately I don't know any source to getting a super avenger dial... :cc_confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The layout would be the same as the Calibre 13 is based on the ETA 7750. Cheers, Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinmgzt Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 I could be wrong but i think the full title of this model is... Breitling Windrider Chronomat Evolution Caliber 13 44mm by 17 Check out this site www. tagwatchesdirect.co.uk I know its a Tag site, but its got the most complete Breitling collection I`ve come across Just received a Steelfish X plus from them, white/cream dial on brown calf strap dont know if you could call them grey dealers but you get everything that you would from an AD Hope this helps Colin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supermanx Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 Replacement Breitling hands are very hard to come by, rep or gen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
