So after going to the AD I was looking to get the super avenger, tried it on and loved it. After looking at the pics I took and getting some feedback it is a little big for my 6.5" wrist. I decided that the Avenger would be best but the only problem is that it isn't offered in the same color combo (air force blue, with silver subdials) I really like the 2 tone color combo so I am looking for alternative and any pictures would be really helpful. Thanks!

Trying on the SA at the AD…

Have a look at the black batons Avenger with silver subs. (A1338012/B995) Will give you the contrast which I think is probably part of the appeal for like the Super, and then you can buy something blue in the future.

I had that blue Super Avenger and even with a 7.5" wrist I think I could barely pull it off.

Thanks I tried it and loved it a little heavy but I really liked that about the watch! After looking at the pics, and thinking about it I think it was just a little too big (my wrist is just above 6.5") although I did love the blue with silver subdial combo…now I think the Avenger might be the best move for me since it's slightly smaller. The only downside is that I really like the silver subdials which isn't available with the blue face..just my luck! So now I am looking at the black face with silver subdials.

I have a 6.25" wrist and I think the SA fits me right although my wrist is rather wide.

I like the size of the Avenger, I have slim wrists but still enjoy wearing a substantial watch...............

I guess there's not much love for the SA with the white dial? I'll be sure to post a pic of mine when it arrives.

I was so tempted to go for a SA with white dials...But I thought the SA would be too big for my wrist.

But after wearing my avenger for over a year I think I could get away with a White SA now...Might have to be my next watch..:-)
