What are the differences between the Skyland and the SA? I know the technical stuff but which one is more "valued" by the collectors? I have been leaning towards the Skyland. Which is the more expensive also?

Thanks!

Marcos, the prices are right about the same. One is a larger diameter which is what people tend to flock towards. Most dealers have a harder time keeping the SA's on the shelves, though I have no idea how many of each are produced.

IMHO, the smaller wrists can pull off a 6.75 or Motors a bit easier than the SA (which is the same diameter on paper). Try them out and you'll see what I mean.

Shouldnt the topic be Skyland vs. Super Avenger? In any case, get the one that fits you better. They are both nice, and given the sheer number of people who have been snapping up both, id say theyre definitely highly regarded.

Just curious - does modding a post leave any track, like "last modified"... like the "last edited"... If not, we'll soon not know if we wrote what we thought we wrote... ;)

Yes, I'm a retard and not a modder lol. I was stuck on the Skyland word and put it in there instead of SUPER.......

I did try on both and have smaller wrists and the SA is probably what I'm going to "settle" on.

Thanks
