Didn't the SA use a Ti back awhile back? Before they went to the larger wings logo on the dial? It was hard to tell just from looking at the case back whether it was Ti or not the way it was finished, so I'm suspecting that it'll be hard to determine from pics in this case as well. We'll have to see what the word from Breitling is, I figure.

Once again, thanks to Mr Mazda for posting all those great pics!

Cheers

Ross

Not that I'm aware of.

Thank you for the great review and pics :)
I had thought about getting one and selling my 2010 SA, but after seeing the "side-by-side"
I am going to stay the course:)

Saw them in the flesh at my AD last night..

Here is what I saw.

SuperAvenger II

1) SAII is still polished, not brushed.

2) SAII is BIGGER than the previous SA. It appears to be 49.5mm now. It is also longer lug to lug. It is a thinner case now, looks to be around 16mm instead of 18mm on the old watch...

3) Bezel has much larger pearl and larger rider tabs. It also has the minutes engraved in the bezel.

4) Pro III Bracelet doesn't taper. It seems to be 26mm lugs with totally different endlinks than the PROII. So, they are obviously not interchangeable with the old SA.

Overall? I hate it. It now overhangs my 8" wrist and the thinner profile actually makes it look cheaper and feel than the previous model. The ProIII bracelet is ok, but the tapering to 22mm on the SAI was easier on the wrist...

If you thought the SAI was too small, then this is your huckleberry, but imho, this redesign is a flop....



Russian mobsters everywhere are flipping out.

I almost spit out my morning coffee on this one! A belly-buster laugh out loud thread. "The earth is flat, I don't care what the pictures from space show. I'm right, you're wrong. I'm always right."

Thanks for an entertaining thread.

If only it were. Maybe some of these people would sail off the end into a dark abyss never to be heard from again.

I was in longs jewelers yesterday checking out the new models, the super avenger 2 wasn't to appealing to me personally, the new PAM watch was real nice, then I hit another mall and went in tourneau and they had nothing new at all, not even catalogs, I don't know how they stay in business there always dead when I go in there.
