Hello everyone,

I'm having a real hard time deciding what my next watch should be. Here are my two choices:

- Breitling Super Avenger - white dial with stencil numbers
- Breitling Bentley GT-Racing - white dial

I like them both...any recommendations? :)

There's nothing in it as far as movements go - both B13's. And before Roff jumps in, the Bentley's is called a B13B which may be just marketing to distinguish it fromthe standard B13, or it may mean it is slightly more "worked upon". Personally I think it's the former, but who knows.

Anyway, apart from the movement they are both quite different watches, not least in size and image. Personally if I could only choose one between either an SA or a Bentley I'd go with the Bentley BUT only a full-size one like a Motors or a 6.75. The GT has never really appealed to me aesthetically, hence why I don't own one.

However, that's just my opinion, so all I can recommend is that you go and try them both on. That's teh only way you'll know if one or the other suits you.

Thanks Driver8,

Funny thing is I tried on the Super Avenger (White Stencil Dial)today at a local AD and absolutely loved it.
Although much thicker than the GT, I'm leaning towards the SA; it just gave me that much more of a 'wow' factor.
The stenciled numbers on white looked amazing in person!

Thanks for your opinion!

Austin
