Hi Folks.

As the time is going by, I'm soon approaching my next LING purchase. (Can't wait, by the way!!). However, I'm caught between the SA or Skyland with Black or White face on polished bracelet. Due to the severe lack of AD's in my area, the opertunity of trying them on is non-existant i'm afraid. I hear alot about the SA and Skyland and I totally agree they are beautiful. But i can't discover the real difference between both. Perhaps some of you own both and could post a pic comparing both models. I'd be very gratefull for any input.

Thanking you all,

Ken

The Super Avenger is my next piece!

Both are very nice pieces but the Super Avenger is the FULL LING!

Size and weight are the main differences. You'll be amazed at how much difference just a couple of mm makes to the look and feel of the SA compared to the Skyland.

As I'm sure you know the dial is a little different but you can see that from the multitude of pics around the place.

Both are great pieces but the SA was the choice for the me (twice!)
