I'm looking for an SA and it is very hard to buy one because there are so many (pretty decent) fakes floating around and because only 1 out of 20 of them I find for sale have box/papers.

It is doubly hard because there appears to be 3 different Arabic dials for the Super Avenger 1.

Can anyone confirm that there really are 3 different dials and for the experts out there, do you know the approximate dates these were release (or at least the order in which they were released)?

People are charging a lot regardless of the dial, so for the same price I'd rather buy one made in 2013 than 2004.

I believe this is the 2009 dial.

I am not sure if this is the second or third dial or what year approximately it was changed to this dial.

Not sure which one this is but maybe mid-2000s

It's very difficult to buy on photos alone because a lot of people take crappy photos but at least if I confirm there were three versions that will help me cross-check these dials with watches I find for sale.

Thanks!

From the pics I see in the chronologs, the top dial photo is from 2010-2013. The bottom dial from 2004-2009. Couldn't find one that matched the middle dial, the slight partial cutoff number 8 wasn't seen in the chronolog.

Super Avenger II was introduced in 2014.
You can ask the seller if there is a date code between the 6:00 lugs which should approx. match the above dates.

Hope this helps.
