I currently own a Submariner Bluesy and a Pam 90. I was never into Breitlings but the Hurricane Avenger really caught my attention. What do you guys think?

Try it on before buying. The Pam looks a little big and the Hurricane is 50mm.

As long as it catches attention that is the goal. So that is a good thing in my opinion

If it's attention you want, stick with the standard super avenger. It's fully polished and will catch more looks than the hurricane.

The super avenger is smaller though, right?

Trust me, you may find a Super Avenger to be many things, but "small" or "shy and retiring" certainly isn't one of them!

And yes I agree 100% with jnelson3097 that if your main reason for buying a watch is attention and bling, then the SA is a much better prospect than the Hurricane. The acres of shiny metal on the SA, especially with the bracelet, will make you forget those additional 2mm on the much more stealth-looking Hurricane.

You'll save a bit of cash too, as the Hurricane is more expensive as it comes with an in-house movement, which in no way enhances the attention it will get you, so there's no point in paying for it. :thumbsup:

I just see too many of those (Avengers or Super Avengers 1/2) here in south florida. I have yet see an Avenger Hurricane in person though. Plus the 24 hour display is not like any watch I have ever owned but the cost savings are substantial.
