Hello everyone! I am new to this forum and I am looking to purchase the Breitling Super Avenger and I am just doing some research before I buy. I have noticed 2 dial styles - 1 with the numbered markers and 1 with the batton style markers. Can someone let me know if one is newer than the other? I am trying to decide between a white dial and a blue dial - does anyone have any feedback regarding the two? Pros... cons... Any and all feedback is appreciated... thanks in advance! |

Hi internetdeity and welcome to the site. Great choice in the Super Avenger by the way - a very desirable watch. The SA is available in both the batons and arabics concurrently. As far as color choice that's gonna be very subjective. Myself, I favor white simply because I find it easier to read.

The SA is a great watch. Try some on and you'll notice the white dial feels larger than say a blue or black dial. The numbering is just a personal choice. I have not seen the new SA Arabic dial in person but I know the font is bigger. They have pics of them on the breitling website. I think also someone on this forum has a new white dial SA. Here is my SA I got last month. I like the blue dial, with the silver subs, but that's just me. I was going to get a white dial, but it seemed too blingy for me. Anyway, as will be said : one will call out to you. http://www.breitlingsource.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=11760 |

I agree with white. I also prefer the arabic numbers over the Batons. It also looks sharp on Black / Brown OR, and all leather straps as well. R/ |

Hello everyone! Thank you for the great feedback! I am definitely leaning towards the white dial - just trying to decide between the 2 different markers. What can you tell me about bracelet options? I am from BC, Canada - does anyone have any recommendations for a good place to buy and what a reasonable price is? The SA is going for $5090.00 Canadian in some retail stores I have seen in Calgary and Edmonton Alberta and I have been quoted $4100 with taxes in Vancouver BC. I am looking at options from the USA as well - I was just in Vegas and might purchase from Tourneau. What is the going US price for this time peice? |

Personal choice! You can't beat the white dial IMO! Here's some pics of my badboy! I seem to be wearing it all the time at the moment! viewtopic.php?f=5&t=8547 |

The bracelet for the Super Avenger is the Pro II. You can also put a number of straps on it - calf or croc leather on tang or deployant, Diver Pro rubber on tang and Diver Pro II and Ocena Racer rubber on deployant. Be careful buying from the US - customs will hit you with both sales taxes and import duty (5%) and a handling fee. I can give you an introduction to an out of province AD (so GST only) that a number of members on here have used that will give you a good price quote for an SA - PM me when you are ready to buy. |

If you need a US AD, let me know, but one member from Canada bought a SA from him and got hit with like a $400 customs bill so he returned it and bought from a Canadian AD instead. |

Good morning everyone - Thanks again for the great help and advice! Ya... I am a little concerned about buying from a US AD due to the extra hit to the pocket book at customs! If anyone know of a great Canadian AD, I would greatful to hear from you. If it's outside of BC, I can also save the PST!! WooHoo! Thanks again everyone! Hopefully I will be able to post some pics of my new SA soon! |
