I'm on the verge of pulling the trigger on a new Super Avenger watch... but I just can't make my mind up on the dial version!

I'm somewhat drawn to the blue dial, as it's not seen too often and I love blue watches... but the baton-dial seems so "empty" and the arabic dial seems to have bad readability with the silver subdials...

I also like the white and black baton-dials... Ahhh... what to do! :roll: :roll: :roll:

(I'm planning on getting the watch with the Pro2 bracelet.... I have a black Ocean Racer with deployant already lying here wating)

Please help me decide with pictures of your SAs :lingsrock:

I think the black Ocean Racer would go better with the blue or black dial.

If you are going to wear it primarily on the black Ocean Racer, then I think a black dial would be best. On the bracelet, however, I would go with white dial and batons, no question. Here is my old SA on my 6.5" wrist (all removable links taken out!), I will get another one day...

Thank you guys... any good pictures of blue dials?

(the dials are all more of a flat color not metallic, right?)

I personally like the black dial with baton sticks. The arabic dial is very very sporty and doesn't suit up as well as batons.

Definitely. It's what I didn't like about it, but sounds like it's what you want. Eventually it did grow on me and I'd like to have it again.

Here's a pretty good shot of what to expect in person.

I really dislike blue dials (and most shades of blue in general...closer to navy blue it is, the more I hate it), so that would be out. For the SA, I really like the white/batons most.

I like it with the black dial, silver sub dials and either arabics or stick markers.

Thanks a lot, you guys! :bow:

I've seen quite a few now, and I had a white one on the wrist the other day... so the white baton dial will be my weapon of choice! :lingsrock:
