Im thinking strongly about the new version Avenger Skyland(just called the Avenger now), Im in love with the tungsten color dial with white sub dials, but I have a Bentley GT black dial with white sub dials. Im thinking it they may be TOO similar watches. Anyone have 2 watches that are pretty similar?

I have both Silver/White dial and the Slate dialed Chronomat Evolutions both on Pilot bracelet and both with Croco - Brown for the S/W and Black for the Slate. To be honest i love wearing them both.....for different occasions....looks like i have 4 quality watches.

I would get a Titanium Chrono Avenger. Otherwise it looks too much like a cross between the GT and the SO Chrono, but to each their own I always say. You already have a lot of 7750 chronos, I might go with something like a Planet Ocean, Panerai or some other brand.

I dont think they look similar at all. BTW, by "tungsten" you mean the slate/gray dial, right? Nevertheless, I think they are much different looking and any similarities shouldnt bother you. Hell, I think the Bentley looks more like a Navi than a Skyland.

Yes, on the Breitling website they call it "tungsten gray" dial and it is now just called the "Avenger" not "Avenger Skyland" according to Breitling.com

I think those watches are different enough where you could easily have both of them. I think the bentley can be used in dressier siutations while the Avenger could be an everyday watch.

Agreed. And my GT bears little resemblance to my Navi.

To me the dial color is a factor in what straps look good on the watch. I have all 3 dials of the CSO. They all look good on the bracelet, but the silver(white) looks great on a brown calf, the black on a black croco, and the blue on a Diver Pro II. That's where the diversity comes in for me.
