That is the question. Help me decide :D

The following rotating image is very crude, but I found an after market diamond bezel for the super avenger (and yes I know there are a few different ones out there) but I need help deciding whether to bling or not... furthermore whether the black dial or white dial looks better/grander in the new version SA thats coming out.

White Dial
White Dial with bling
Black Dial with bling
Black Dial

which way would you go if it were you? if bling is the winner I'll make another image of the rotating after market bezel choices ;)

Black got my vote. White second choice. But absolutely NO BLING on this one!

And if you save on the diamonds, you could buy another watch!!!!

Black Dial with BLING but that particular BLING doesn't have the true SA bezel with the rider tabs. Mine has the correct BLING bezel see link below.

On the 2008 model SA, the white gets my vote, then the black. And as Nick said - no bling please! I've come round to rocks a bit more recently on the Chronomat (like Ron's), but not the SA.

If there is one B most deserving of ice, its the SA. Recently saw a black dial with the two row factory bezel at my AD and it was NICE.

Driver8,

We have been through this before with the SIZE issue. Trust me it won't be long before you will decide that the SA needs BLING. The Bentley should NEVER be without it !

:lol: I just can't see it happening Ling Man!

I contemplated it with my white dial SA, but I don't like the twin rows of the OEM diamond bezel, and a large single row is just too bling for me. (And not factory, which would irritate me). I like the Bentley bezels as they are - both the knurled and the engine-turned - so theonly one I'd consider is a Chronomat like Ron's..... but that's just a little too small for me. So unless Breitling bring out that bigger Windrider model that we all want and NEED, then I'm 100% sure you won't see any of my watches with rocks on them! :wink:

I said white without the sparkle.

I would have to say that the Arabic markers would be my preference too.

I'm not a big fan of diamonds (I have Mrs BB for that!) but at a pinch would go for some bling on a Chronomat or similar.

I guess it depends on how many watches you have in your collection - I'd need quite a few before I went down the bling route.

Black dial. No ice.

If the ice is as pictured, it would completely render the timer bezel useless. Please don't forget, your Lings are not just accessories, they are instruments.

My original thought was to go black dial too, mainly because I intend to pick up an extra bracelet (Ocean Racer).

My vote is for the White faced dial with no bling. This is the exact same watch I am looking for right now. I wouldn't mind having the diamond bezel as an option, but I'm not sure if I would want to wear it with the bling all the time? If you have a chance to play around with different strap combinations you should look at the blue dial SA with the camel/color croco strap. This is a pretty sharp combo, this strap looks good with the white dial as well.

I just noticed that the image rotated. My vote was black with ice, but I dont like that bezel there. It looks funny with no rider tabs. I know opinions are split, but I like the two row look of the oem bezel. The diamonds on the oem bezel are very high quality, and should hold their value relatively well (being an oem dial, that is).

I voted black dial/no ling, especially if you are going to add the Ocean Racer strap. 8)
