Probably still too large for me but like the GMT--a lot.

Is the SA II casing fully brushed SS as people are saying on here, because in the close-up picture, only the bezel looks brushed and the rest polished?

Also, what are the dimensions of the Avenger GMT case?

I gotta say the Seawolf GMT may be my favorite of the new offerings. Very well done Breitling

That's what I was noticing as well. I don't see a brushed/polished combo on the SAII (compared it to the pic of the Seawolf), other than the bezel, which is the same as before. And that's fine with me, I think the SA SHOULD be polished. I've always kind of wished for a brushed version of the Avenger though.

Overall, I'm really happy with the way the Avenger line is shaping up. I really like the new bezels, the bigger lume pip (always thought the old one was too small) and I'm just hoping that they go with perhaps some of that newer blue lume.

At any rate, I am REALLY digging that new Avenger GMT!! I'll be adding one of these to the collection for sure!

This is a great site. Nice scoop on the pics and links, guys.

Cheers

Ross

Is it just me? but Everyone is saying that the new Super Avenger features a brushed case, but all I see is a brushed bezel.
The rest looks shiny and polished in this picture, and also the outside of the bezel also looks polished.

Looks nice! I don't love the numbers on the bezel but it makes the watch more functional as a diver. Good job sticking to the blueprint Breitling.

Pleasantly surprised by this one. I've always had a soft spot for the SA even though I'm not sure it's for me day-to-day. This seems to update it subtly whilst maintaining the characteristics of the model.

I would have preferred black subdials, but that's being picky. I like it.

So it does. Thanks!

I like the look of the GMT too.

I love them both especially the Super Avenger.....I wonder how much thinner it is than the previous SA at 18.5mm I believe. I also wonder if they will do a black on black sub dial version.
