I've been saving for a Super Avenger for about 5 months now, and was about to purchase one yesterday.
Went to my AD and tried one on with calf leather, and although it looked good in the window, it didn't suit my wrist. I think it was due to it being too thick and looked top heavy on my 7 inch wrist.

I then tried on a Breitling for Bentley Barnato, also on leather, and have to say that despite it being slightly larger in diameter than the Super Avenger, it looked and sat better on my wrist, probably because it was not as thick.

So I am now swayed towards getting a Breitling for Bentley Barnato.
I do prefer the look of the Racing edition with the silver subdials, it's just a shame that these are steering wheels, which is not to my taste at all.

So that leaves the normal black edition. I found this picture online:

Do you guys reckon this model looks like a Bentley Replica/fake?
It's because of this I haven't yet pulled the trigger.
Something about it just makes it look like a replica to me. I'm not sure what it is, maybe its the style of the subdials (looks too thin), or the red detail. But I'd hate for people to think I'm wearing a fake.

I've looked at other Breitling for Bentley models, and was considering the 6.75, but I prefer the less busier dial and I also prefer the Barnato because of the whole dial being black.

Also, although I'm not looking to sell my watch, what is likely to hold its value better? The Super Avenger or the Bentley Barnato?

Well at the moment there is a much better fake of the SA than there is of the Barnato (and there's a fairly good fake of the 6.75). Neither of them are going to hold their value terribly well, in percentage terms they'll be about the same.
