hi everybody, just joined the forums today and would like to seek advice.

was considering the SA until the launch of SA2, makes me in a dilemma.
i don't fancy buying the SA brand new since the launch of SA2 but used SA are hard to come by.

i heard breitling is going to reduce RRP and dealer discount.
due to existing RRP and dealer discount, i am being offered a good deal now for SA and SA2 has not reach the country.
if i don't get the SA now, i will never come out more money for SA2.

the question is SA or SA2?
advice will be greatly appreciated.

Best bet is to try both on. See what looks and feels better. You are going to wear it and spend the $$ your opinion is the only one that matters.

the difficult part is SA2 will only be available in oct as such i don't have the opportunity to try both to compare.
by then the RRP and dealer disc will be adjusted.

To each their own. You'll often end up paying more for face to face (depending on where in the world you are) but do get a little more confidence.

Don't think that there's much chance of RRP being reduced other than in individual circumstances due to currency fluctuations. Dealer discounts are being clamped down on in many markets, but that will happen on both models and has already started. For the kind of money that you would be spending I would definitely wait and try both on, there'll be plenty of SAs around.

my only advice is that make sure you have a mammoth wrist. the SA is a HUGE watch. There has only been one member on here that can make the SA look like a normal watch on their wrist and thats FEAR. on most other people the SA just looks like a dinner plate on your wrist.

Good point. Unfortunately too many people look over the more realistically sized (but still large) Avenger.
