The Super Avenger always catches my eye (hard not too haha) but then whenever I try it on I say "wow, that is a massive watch"...so I think a "happy medium" would be the Avenger....love the way it looks, basically a smaller SA. My only issue is, why don't they have an applied wings logo on the Avenger!!! I think that makes the dial so much better. What's your overall thoughts on the Avenger.

The logo was something that bothered me in pictures, but in person the Avenger just fits me so much better than the SA that if I were to buy one I would go with the Avenger. To me the SA is just way too big, it almost looks comical on me, the Avenger, at 45mm, is in that perfect size range.

I have no idea why Breitling doesn't put the applied logo on the Avenger, maybe to make it a little different than the SA.

I too love the SA, but do not have the "frame" to support its massive size. Thats why i went with the Avenger and love it!!! :lingsrock:

SA is a great watch. it more of a casual watch that one would wear with jeans. i have average wrist size at best around 7 inches or so and i have a SA. but i guess you could say that i am a bigger build person. i stand roughly 5 ft 8 and weigh 190 pounds. the SA works well for me. but if you gut says avenger than you should go with that

When I tried on the SA it took me all of 2 seconds to decide that it looked stupid on my tiny wrists. The Avenger still lets me wear a watch that looks like the SA without it being over the top on my wrist.

I wish that Breitling would apply this option to more of their line up. It would be great to see 2 size options for dials on their more popular series.

I could never understand why they didn't put the logo on the dial either, when they have it on the superocean which is smaller.

My wrists are 6 3/4 and I tried the SA which I loved, but looked way too big, totally happy with my Avenger... :lingsrock:

The applied wings logo is a really nice touch but if it's too big, then I would just stick to the Avenger as the non-applied wings logo still looks perfectly fine. I don't why they wouldn't put the applied wings on the regular Avenger either... especially when it's on their smaller watches.
