Want to know what people think of these watches?
Was looking at black dials and steel bracelet for each.
Anyone have these? What do you think?

Currently have a Colt II Automatic, Navitimer, Rolex Datejust

I like the style of the Avenger best out of those. Solid watch, classic design, I'm a fan :)

Colt Chrono II wears smaller than the Avenger. I like my CC II, less clumsy feeling than any of the Aeromarine 'lings I've had in the past. Although the new style bezels are not universally liked, the old school rider tab bezels have a tendency to wear out cuffs. The new ones don't, IMO.
I would have preferred a Pro2 bracelet (purely for the aesthetics) for my CC II though, rather than the flat Pro1 style bracelet that tapers from 22mm to 18mm. Still, I guess that again adds to a non-obtrusive watch to wear for extended periods of activity.

As for the Colt 44... well that depends whether you like or need a chrono. Looking at your collection as it stands, you need a waterproof chrono. :)

Can´t beat the Avenger! (Biased... who me?) :D

Code yellow is great if you can find one. Avenger skyland is my favourite with white numbers. It suites best with the white date and wings logo. And you can´t beat the Black and white contrast.

I like the Colt II too though. Very racy and sporty IMO.

Which seems better suited for you, automatic or quartz?
