Hi I am new to the forum. I am ordering a Breitling Super Avenger. I am getting it thru a friend of mine who has a contact with a distributer. BUT the problem is that I want it to be EXACTLY has shown in the attached photos.

I saw this watch at Torneau in Aventura, FL. I had them send me some pictures of the watch. HOWEVER their staff lacks the necessary knowledge to sell a $13k watch. Their ignorance is driving me crazy.

Is this croco strap considered: GOLD, or BROWN? They have no clue, they once told me CARAMEL (Not camel, but CARAMEL, which is not an official color), then they told me its TAN, then someone said it was just plain old BROWN.

So please give me some advice. Also does anyone have an actual photo of any Breitling with a CAMEL strap, also with a GRAY VIOLET Strap (as seen on the Japan Bt. site) ?? ANY HELP WOULD BE GREAT. ANY PICTURES WOULD BE EVEN BETTER. THANKS

IT IS GOLD. THANKS EVERYONE. NO ONE HAD ANY PICTURES OF A GRAY VIOLET, SO I JUST BOUGHT ONE. THANK YOU!

Its tough to tell from the pic. The lighting is extreme, and the bottom looks sorta like the regular brown, while the top portion looks like the camel. There is also a color called "gold." The tip of the inside of the strap should have a code on it i.e. "730P" (camel) which will indicate the color.

My money is on camel.

For a quick comparison visit the 'fitting' section of breitling.jp

The lighting in those images is a bit intense but the strap still looks too light to be either gold or brown.

I agree - too brown and too dark. I thought camel when I saw the portion of the strap at 12, but looking at the part at 6 it just doesn't look like it could be.

I agree with that observation. The reason I like the strap so much is because it "changes" color. In person its much better. I've been to the Japanese site, it looks like none of the colors. But thats hard to judge since those are "graphics" vs. a watch I've seen in person. It looks niether gold or camel. The camel looks almost yellow. This strap looks like CARAMEL or CHESTNUT (If I had to describe its color, not based on the official names that Breitling provides)
Thanks everyone.

I really want to see an actual PHOTO of a GRAY VIOLET strap.

Does anyone have one to share?

Also any pix of CAMEL & GOLD (OEM ONLY PLEASE).

THANKS
