I tried on an Avenger and Super Avenger last night, and find myself leaning towards the Super Avenger. I like the size of the Super Avenger, plus they cost the same. I was a little iffy on the white dial with silver sub dials at first, but after looking at it for a while it grew on me! I am posting a pic to show you guys... Poor quality, it was taken with a cell phone and I was wearing both watches. Also, when you say 8" wrist, is that just by taking measuring tape around my wrist? I think my wrist is only 7" around.

Forget about the watch for a second, where did u get a phone in this decade that takes such lousy pics. Go for the SA if that's what u like, first instinct is usually rite.

I agree, it takes unbelievable pics for a phone.

Well, I did it! Just got back from the jeweler and am now proud owner of a Super Avenger! I couldn't get past how it looked on me as opposed to the Avenger. This is my first luxury watch and am still a little dazed at spending so much on a time piece... BUT this has been several years in the making and I am super excited! I love how it feels, looks, everything! I will try and get some awesome pictures on here under a new thread. The lady that I dealt with was awesome and made my first purchase an great one! She offered us drinks and everything! If you would like her information, just PM me. Any advice on taking care of my awesome time piece would be much appreciated! Thank you all for your advice and opinions throughout this process!

Congratulations!

Hundreds and hundreds of threads here on different aspects of looking after the watch but it really doesn't need much.

I'm not sure that a watch that comes in at over 1/3 lb before you put a strap on it could ever be considered "dressy".

Congrats. But where are the pictures? :D :D I am lucky enough to have 2 SAs.

This one (Just purchased 2 weeks ago on my Honeymoon) and a 2004 model (smaller wings) with a Black Dial and Numerals. I love them both. It will stand out, people will notice it, and you just have to enjoy it.
