The Blackbird is a perfect size, the Super Avenger looks ridiculous on most people with a wrist size under 8" so IMHO your doing the right thing.


No, it doesn't..unless you're looking at a 5.5" wrist.

The Blackbird looks worse on a large wrist than an Avenger on a medium wrist.

Case closed.


None of this post makes any sense. That's just my opinion.

Now you're just being a "jackass"! :lol: It's funny you should choose that picture because I've been thinking the SA on rubber sure would look good next Summer going to the gym to ride the bike... and letting the chrono run for fun. :lingsrock:


It will look great! I will post some more pics tonight to "entice" you to keep it. :) I have never been a fan of white/silver dials, but I am considering another SA white dial because it looks so clean........especially on a black dive pro. :lingsrock:

Now you listen to 46crew, he's absolutely right.

Mistake. Blackbird is too small. You'll see..


A Blackbird on a 7.5" wrist is definitely not too small, but everyone is entitled to their opinion.

Could not agree with you more! I had to move a Skyland because of a wrist/nerve problem and got a BB in it's place. My wrist is the same as roman and I think it fits perfectly. I have no regrets about the move, many about not having the Skyland anymore. Think twice before you move your watch, I miss mine even though I could not wear it for very long.
Best health, Frank

Here is my shot.

that blingy Blackbird is growing on me

Must have been the cabin fever getting to me. :D Yesterday I did a little watch modeling in front of a full length and thought WTF and I thinking... and maybe my next move should be to trade up my BB to a 6.75. :lingsrock:

I don't have an Under Armour shirt but do a hat and a couple pairs of pants.

PS... I would like a 6.75, but even more probably my 19" upper arm. That was in my mid. to late 20s, and I turn 40 this year, but it's definitely not too late for one more good run. I've always done it clean so I can probably get back if i put the effort in. In fact, I'm joining the gym tomorrow to start that journey.

Don't find it too small (6.5" wrist) and it's definitely more comfortable than bigger watches.

IMO, big heavy watches should be worn higher on the wrist, and more thight too.
i have 7.5 inch wrists and thats how i wear my SA.
a loose SA lower on the wrist just looks weird.

Well done! And it's never too late buddy. I turn 48 this week. Age is a fact of life, but it's all what you do with it. Luckily, the Marine Corps hasn't allowed me to slack of too much. Hope you get that 6.75, that's one of my dream grails. :drool:
