Hi, I have decided on buying a Super Avenger, I only have 7 inch wrists but i have big upper arms, 19 inch so I can just about pull it off. The model I like is the black dial with silver or white (hard to tell in pics) sub dials and numbers rather than batons. I am just wondering if there is a certain model that is most desirable as I will prob come to sell it at some point and will be wanting as much interest in it as possible. Thnks, Jordan

My super avenger collection is up to 6, I have one of each color with the numbers, all newer model with the larger numbers, and one of each color with the batons, purchased the 3 number dials first then I started loving the baton dials so starting buying them, personally I think there all nice, and the black dial numbers has silver subs, they do look white in pics but are silver.

If I were to buy a SA I think white face with batons is my fav. No idea what is the best for resale. Good luck with decision and be sure and post pix.

I'm not sure there is a ton of price variation in the colors on the second hand market so go with the one you like best so you enjoy it the most while you have it. Being up or down a hundred bucks down the road isn't worth sacrificing the one that calls to you the most.

That is my latest of my 6, I received it in the mail Tuesday it came with pro 2 band but I listed it for sale on eBay because I have 4 with the pro 2 and wanted this with the black croc and my blue baton has a blue croc.Image

I love my Volcano black / silver sub SA -model no. B973 It's one of the best in my opinion - next to this the black baton & white baton dials.

Here's a taster that might get you thinking.....

Is that a black dial? If so that's the same one I'm getting, looks blue in that pic ?

Looks great though, how much was your leather strap? I want to but one too so I can switch between that and the pro2

Calf skins usually around $200 croco $300-$500 you have to check around, sometimes they get listed on here for a fair price, CharlesP usually has a nice selection at great prices. Size is 24/20

I agree - PM charles P for strap and yes it is black my friend - the AR on the crystal gives a blue/purple tinge.

brilliant choice - u will love.

I have a black calf, brown calf an pro 2 bracelet

looks fantastic on all
