It usually comes down to what suits you better. The two look almost identical, so its only a size thing. I cant pull off the SA, so Avenger for me.

:yeahthat Me to..
I don't personally like watches that look out of proportion on wrists.

That been said it will only be one persons wrist... yours... so go for what you think :thumbsup:

I recently bought a SA ,it depends on what size you like,a personal thing,I tried the Avenger on at The AD before I got my SA and for me it was to small compared to the SA,as I like a good size watch .The SA wears really nice but does take a while to get used to with the weight and the bulk of it.Hope this helps you make your decision.
Heres mine.

The hardest part is finding the bracelet size to wear it and be comfortable :lingsrock:

I personally don't have one but as soon as you have the Avenger you will wish you got the SA! JMO :lingsrock:

SA for me. :D They are both great, and I wear a Chrono Avenger at work. But I have a wrist large enough for the SA and it is now my favorite. :lingsrock:

46 Crew..........those wrist shots look good, a bit of colour on the arm helps too, hoping to get some this summer myself if i can discover what day summer is in the UK.
It does show what the Super Avenger looks like with the correct size wrist.........i have the same set up 563 SA with ProII bracelet....
It really gets noticed,in all sorts of places, trouble is my other pieces seem non existant now ...........but.who cares..... :drool:

If you can pull it off, the Super Avenger. I have a 6.5" wrist and the SA is ridiculous on me, but I still love it. One of the things that I like is the size as compared to my "regular" Breitlings. I bought the SA because it is different, the Avenger is too similar to my other watches in size and in the way it looks. If you are going to buy a polished Breitling, you may as well go all out and buy a BIG polished Breitling. :mrgreen:
