Had a gmt on today, that's very flat, 11mm max I'd guess, although I have no knowledge of the specific height. The Seawolf is just as massive as the old one. The SA II has much more pleasing dimensions than the old one, the massive back wall of the old model is gone.

nice piece, congrats! Love the GMT hand and the minimalistic overall look.

That's also the first one I've seen in the wild. I haven't even seen one in a store.

In a leap of faith, I ordered my Avenger II GMT a little over a week ago. The AD said it would take about four weeks. I hope I like it as much in person!


exciting news Auger. hopefully you are pleasantly surprised. congrats on the future incoming. post some pics when it arrives :lingsrock:

Ok everyone, I've received information from an AD that the Avenger GMT III has a thickness of approximately 12.6mm.

I found a couple pictures of the Breitling Avenger II GMT from a sale someone had for one online.

You can tell that it's considerably thin.

looks like the perfect thickness to fit under a cuff for a Work watch.

Saw one in the wild again today, on someone's wrist. I have to say i'm not the biggest fan of the bracelet.

Still like it on the strap though...

Yeah, I love the ProII and the new bracelet just doesn´t work for me too. But the watch itself is awesome! :)

Haven't specifically seen any verified thickness numbers yet. My AD still hasn't received the two he has ordered. Now hearing rumors that they may not be shipping in quantities until Sept./Oct. due to Breitling shutting down for summer vacation in Aug. (?)

While not the best pictures, you can see some real life pictures of the Avenger II chrono here. It's a preowned piece that Govberg has in. I don't have the actual pictures, so you'll have to look at the ebay page.
