Very excited, finally went and picked up my first, new, purchased from AD Breitling. Feels good!
After much debate between the hurricane white Super vs the Silver dial Avenger, I chose the Avenger and couldn't be happier. Here's a few picks :)

Side note: The new registration process is a plastic card, that has a liquid crystal screen that reads the certificate from a microchip... Have you guys seen this before. Actually uploads the warranty data and tells the date and store of purchase, cool technology!

Good choice, the SA would have looked ENORMOUS on you. Congrats, and enjoy it!

Great choice!
Size is perfect, great wrist presence but not ridiculously big.

Is this an Avenger II? Not seen this combo in an Avenger before.

It's a 2012 Avenger (no super) 45mm
I didn't care for the 2013 versions because no white dial (this is stratus silver but the closest thing )
Perfect size, wrist presence, and rugged yet stylish versatility... Love it!
Thanks for all the kind words guys.

A beautiful watch!

Brown croco strap would really set that thing off... :D

I agree, Brown works really well with this colour dial.

Nice pick up, looks the perfect size for you too.

Nice choice on the size. I remember your past posts. The SA would have looked out of place on your wrist. You chose the write watch. Plus that dial is slick. Wear it in good health.

Nice! Just picked up another piece myself. The new electronic warranty card was cool! Even the piece I picked up a few months ago at their boutique NYC didn't have the e-warranty card.
