Super Avenger Blacksteel purchase

[phillylife]

Guys and gals, need some advice on a purchase. I'm sort of a Noob, but not really. Worked at a jeweler, know all about watches (GEN). Sold my GENS bought a bunch of Reps over the years (Jeweler closed recession). I got a SA midnight blue with batons, love it and the size. I'm looking for the Blacksteel SA. Problem is I can't get an answer from the dealers on the version. Trevor has one on his site that reads it was added June/July 2012. I asked what version it was, no response. It's cheaper than trustytime.com (whatever his site is now). I hit Trustytime and Kingwatch up and asked is it V2 or V3 (they're the same dealer...duhh) and all I got was "Friend watch no stock only have H Factory version". Any help would be great on who to pick up a good one from and what version is best, or should I look at the skyland? It's smaller and I'm not into that size, but it may do cause I think it's V3 Superlume DLC

H factory is the best and latest one, it comes with superlume too. I can highly recommend, I have one myself, event took it for a dip in the pool out of box and she was good.

This is one of my favorite Breitlings. But if you have been around the GEN, there is a problem. The rep color does not in any way match the GEN. I found this out after ordering one. I was very disappointed to say the least. I really wish someone made a more accurate color.

You know what's funny, that's the same conclusion I came to, I saw the GEN on this guys arm, was like WTF! What kind of watch is it, found it googled it. When I looked at the rep, the biggest thing is the color that looks different. The crown,the pushers are a different color than the case, that's not he issue with the GEN. Guess I'm gonna have to look at another a black watch,Hublot? Thoughts?

Hublot V6. Check them out. It's a shame the SA Blacksteel rep is that bad.

i remember i saw the gen in NY , i think the coating is carbon something if i am not wrong , i think a dlc coating would make a better match ?

 

[TESLA760]

Yes. But that would be a big project. I've seen some great deals on the Gens.

, i actaully kind of regret now buying the watch , couse i had the money when i saw it
i remember there was not replica of it at that time , so i had hope

SA Black Steel Mods?

With the talk regarding the color being "off", is there anyone out there that can do a mod and "re-PVD" or color more to gen?

With that said, is there anyone that has any pictures of their SA Black Steel mods, or has any suggestions on anyone that does mods on this I would appreciate them
