The Avenger has the new obvious changes very similar to the Super Avenger.
I didn't see this one coming. What do you guys think?

Hi 46crew, Did I miss something?  I am trying to work out what you are asking and sadly, I am confused. Sorry, but can you explain this one again? |

Avenger Chrono is pretty much just a scaled down SA now. TO GMT isn't bad, not sure about the GMT hand though. I am pleased to see that Breitling are expanding their GMT offerings, but that does make it even more bizarre that there isn't an in house Navi World yet. |

I wouldn't mind seeing some real life pics of the TO GMT to really see the texture on the dial |

I like that they went back to the stenciled arabics ala the Avenger Skyland. Does anyone know if it is brushed or still polished? It's impossible to tell from renderings. My initial thoughts on the TO GMT are: (1) the GMT hand looks like something you would see on a sub-$1000 micro-brand watch or an Orient and (2) what is going on with the dial? Again it is hard to tell from a rendering, but........................ |

Wow, that Avenger looks good. Thanks for posting. TO GMT not bad, would be better with a different GMT hand. |

i actually like both pieces. the new bezel on the SA2 look very similar to the Blackbird bezels font wise that is. as for the TO it looks pretty cool. my only gripe wit it is that I am not a huge fan of the long curved lugs. BTW what is the dial size of the TO? my guess is 46 mm?? Edit - my bad this is the chrono avenger not the SA.... Correct? |

Love the concept of a GMT TO, but the GMT hand and dial surface look a little..... well..... odd! |

I'm really curious to see how they'll look with a slimmed down case.

One hit and one miss, IMO. It is hard to tell but I think the Avenger is polished, apart from the bezel of course. |

Just spoke to my AD, he said the Avengers are now thinner, he said they're similar in thickness to the Chronomats. That's a welcome change. |
