New GF Avenger Bandits

Never held gen I hand. I’m only going off the pictures on Breitling’s website and reviews on youtube. But I think the dial is supposed to be grainy like that. The difference is, I think, is the matte finishing on the dial. GFs dial looks more satin than matte. But in most lighting conditions you can’t tell on the rep.

I did it! I ordered the breitling avenger bandit ti V9F with the extra strap from chazing time! Will post pics and my take on this bad boy!
Hopefully they’ve reopened or Chazin time can source it for you. Trusty told me V9F closed due to raids 3 weeks ago. Let us know how it goes.

I ordered the V9F , guess I should have ordered the GF version. Let’s see if they even have it in stock.
I wanted the V9F over the current GF version. V9F did a great job with AR, Dial, and Date wheel. But I’m happy either way.

Hi! I just received my green so-called Avenger Bandit. Breitling calls it Avenger Night Mission. I have no idea why the dealers call it a Bandit!
Anyway, I just wanted to share with you that GF did a great job overall, as usual, but the green colour of the dial and strap is much, much lighter than it should. I call it Avocado Night Mission! I think the OXF version was/is much better in this particular aspect and I will try to source a spare dial to substitute for the GF. Also, "swiss made" is written in white, whereas the gen (and OXF) comes in black. Go figure!

Hey mech500, do you have more details about these first 250 pieces? I'd love to see pictures of them, but no matter how much I search there is only the darker green with black text.
