I miss the older Breitling reps….Super Avenger, Bentley (especially the Flying B) and SOH.

What do you guys think are the chances of any factory ever repping an6 of these big Breitlings again? I would love to pick up a few. Having said that, if you have one of thes3 models gathering dust in your watch box let me know.

I think the chances are Slim to none. I bought one of the last 30 SA’s after H Factory was seized. The big watches don’t sell well to the Chinese which is the biggest market for the factories. M2M is your only option but you has to be fast.

The H factory gray Avenger Skyland was 98% as good as the gen (I had both).
I would buy one in a second if it came up on M2M.

Yes the old HF are great, I was lucky enough to pick up a yellow dial Avenger Seawolf v3 on M2M and it is spot on to gen, amazing watch.

It agree with other comments older models don’t get much love.

I would love to see the 44mm version of SOHII, the 42mm was a let down with poor AR otherwise good. GF are making a few in the 45mm size so I would have thought it would sell well...here’s hoping!

The Seawolf and 45mm Avenger are great watches but I really miss the big boys (46mm and above)

Somebody has to have one of those hideous rectangular monstrosities that are better known as Flying B chronos. Let me take it off your hands.

I was also on the hunt for one and willing to pay top euro for it, but no luck :(

I bought a zf black steel super avenger back in the day (around 2016), and I really wanted a stainless steel one for years.

And all of a sudden one listing for a gen showed up which is local and is the exact model that I wanted. Bought it right away and never looked back.

I miss the old Breitlings too, I think Breitling messed up all chronomat collection, looks nothing similar to old ones, and with a bullet bracelet from the 60s.

I like this one, it’s not big enough for my wrist :)

That’s a 48mm Super Avenger so if that isn’t big enough you are almost out of luck. Maybe the 50mm Hurricane or the 60mm Panerai Egi

I’m just kidding. Of course it’s big enough.
I like big watches :)
