Hi,

Im new to the forum and I am about to purchase my first Breitling. I have tried on both of the watches and both fit extremely well, but now I dont know which to chose.

or

Both are used watches, and have remaining warranties left from the AD. The Skyland is almost 100 percent new and is $2500-2600. The Super Avenger is from $2900-3000.

I cant decide!!!
Thanks

SA. The white dial is classic.

I wouldn't let the prices influence you too much. The price difference is not going to seem important if you realise a few months down the track that you would rather have had the other one.

Tough call though, this one. In the past I would have chosen the SA, but I'm starting to realise that perhaps the Skyland fits me better (I have a small wrist). I also like black dials, so in this case I would choose the Skyland.

In your case, if you're sure the SA fits you (and assuming you like white dials) the SA might be the better option.

Both of them are a lot of watch for the money. Although smaller, the Skyland is not a small watch! I prefer the Skyland on myself, but you are going to have to figure out which one you are in love with.
best of luck

Easy.... Avenger Skyland all day! I'm sure I'm in the minority here but I'm not a fan of the SA. Oh, and don't sleep on the slate (grey) dial. Looks good on just about any color leather strap.

My only concern is if the SA is too flashy with a suit or for work. The Skyland looks more conservative, if it can be called that, and seems like it would go better in a business environment

The SA is a big watch, but I'm a big man at 6'5 and pretty muscular, not too mention a black dial, so it can seem subtle at times on me. The SA is a great watch for all occasions IMHO!

I have a SA . I found it a little too flashy.....but then i bought a rubber strap and it made all the world of a difference. Draws a lot less attention. When I wore suits It never fit under my cuffs anyways lol.

Or you can just get the more expensive watch out of the way first then buy the other later.

Ive owned both watches in the past. If I had to choose one from these two it would have to be the Skyland.
The SA gets a little uncomfortable after a few hours on the wrist, hey but that's just me :wink: ....and I love BIG watches....

I'd go for the SA. Actually, I am going for it. That exact one is on my shortlist.
