Really nice combo D8, I like it. Pity you parted with it, even if it was less versatile than a gold croco strap.

Yeah, it was nice, but it went primarily because I had two SA's at the time! I've still got the black dial version on the bracelet, but I think it's days are numbered too. I'm just finding the SA to be a bit too blingy these days.

congrats on the watch, the super avenger is really something of a watch...

the old breitling iconic watch was navitimer,but in present days is the super avenger


as for the dial combo, you have choose the most boring one but its your choice and still its a super avenger (king of wrist presence), as many you will be bored fast of the white dial. you should get a brown croco on that, looks way better.

the black dial is the best option imo
but i am a bit suspicious to speak hehehe

That is a stunning timepiece. You made the right choise in dial color. The SA is one of the rear cases with Breitling that the clean crisp white dial color is even available. It only ads to the powerful precense of the SA. I´ve been saying this for about two years now, that it´s one of my favourites and would love to pick one up if I could in any way pull it off. I would love to buy any off the aeromarine range pieces with a white dial if there were any other on offer. Congrats, good job! 8)

...oh and I´de put a white leather strap on it. You cant find one from B, but you can find one from the same company that manufactures B:s straps (unfortunetaly the name escapes me).

I couldn't wait and decided to put a black generic leather strap I had as a spare on my white SA. I know lots of folks prefer the brown straps with a white face but there's something about a black strap and a white face that does it for me.

did you wonder why B doesnt produce white leather straps???

because they are horribleeeeeeee, what a lack of taste

i rest my case

best combos whit white are surely brown and black

Same reason I moved my SAs on (must be getting old).
