The Seawolf is a seriously thick beast. If you don't have thick wrists, it will sit very high on your arm. Think DSSD height. The gmt is much more reasonable watch. If I had to pick one watch to wear on a regular basis, the gmt would be my pick.

As a general statement, yes. Some older models were done better by other factories (HFac Seawolf, steelfish, Skyland, noob abyss, BP Navi world) but currently GF has the most well made breitling models that are readily available.

I reviewed this watch a while back. https://forum.replica-watch.info/forum/breitling-replicas/316601-gf-avenger-ii-seawolf-hong-kong-special-edition-quick-review?p=7579991#post7579991

1. Valve isn't functional on these watches. I don't think it even extends inside the case. At least I don't remember seeing it in any of my 3 steelfishies. 2. Bezel is held on by the screws 3. Direct drop in for a 2836

I feel these watches come so close to being a worthy evolution of the steel fish but just barely misses the mark. The proportions just feel all wrong. The seconds hand and dial numbers are comically large. The datewheel makes me feel like I'm squinting at the date on a DSSD. Going to sit out...

Looks like the craptastic Z2 movement. No replacement parts available but you can directly swap in a 2836. Swiss or Chinese it doesn't matter, it's a drop in fit.

I'd say it depends on the size of your wrists. If you have huge wrists and forearms, go with the seawolf. If not, go with the GMT. The thickness of the seawolf can be awkward to wear for many people.

The H Factory Skyland avenger was rightfully considered a super rep. Excellent quality and accuracy to gen. Unfortunately HF went out of business a couple years ago and the Skyland can be a little tougher to find. I know I won't part with my own for the foreseeable future, but you may be able...

I don't think HFac ever made a sosf with a 2813, and the 45 on the bezel tab also looks way off. I think it might be from some no name factory.

What would the MOQ be to get that level of pricing? 50k-100k pieces?

I have been holding off on watch purchases lately, but this definitely has my attention. Hope they release a black dial version, the yellow just isn't speaking to me.

Subdials are in the same spot. Actual size of the posts are different. So valjoux 7750 hands won't fit on the A7750 and vice versa without some modding.

Looks at least partially real to me 1. Crystal isn't yellow 2. Flat subdials (BP is raised in the centers) 3. Gold numbers are vibrant Those are the main tells on the BP, so I'd say the watch shown in your picture is at the very least a Franken project

Never came with an ETA movement, they only came in A2836 with GMT module. Yes, same as Gen setting for date/gmt Yes I did on mine. However, you have to reuse the stock GMT module unless you happen to have a spare.

All of my Breitling reps were good to 6 atm right out of the box (aside from my navitimer world that will never see any water). That being said, I still always regrease the case back gasket every time I open one up. As for swimming, I leave my reps high and dry and swim with my gshocks. No...

For value, the noob can't be beat. But I love black cases, so I'd go with the GF (I also have a blue noob, so my opinion may not be unbiased). However, from a purely asthetic position, I also much prefer the ceramic bezels of the super ocean specials vs the rubber inlay on the super ocean ii's

Luckily for you, there's a 45mm model: https://www.breitling.com/us-en/watches/avenger/hurricane-45/XB0180E41B1W1/

There's literally no halfway decent rep of the avenger hurricane if that style floats your boat.

You have plenty of blue/black dial watches. The white is more of a sporty/classy watch. The black is more tacticool. I say go for the white.

It depends on your tolerance of flaws but i'd say theres nothing deal breaking. Is this Blackbird perfect? No. Will you ever realistically be called out for wearing a GF? Also no, unless you happen to meet a truly fanatical breitling geek or someone that specifically browses this thread. So...
