Anyone having luck finding Yellow Avenger lately? Preferably GF with the arabic numbers 2836?

Anyone have any clue where I might be able to track this watch down? I've contacted numerous TDs and they all say GF doesn't have any. Is there a chance that a TD might have one already in their possession? Is there any way to know if GF will produce more? Thank you.

In general TD's don't stock watches. When I want a specific watch I place the order with my TD and wait for the factory to make more of the watch I want. Sometimes it takes months. My longest wait was six months.

You'll have to ask as mentioned above, but my understanding was that these were no longer being made.

I bought this one a couple of months ago (GF Factory - BSW0436A) from Trusty.

Worn it a couple of times on a other strap. Maybe I let it go soon.

That’s the 1st gen…. No longer made as a rep.
The 2nd gen and current model should be available from most TD.

Here is mine. Subtle differences - less cluttered dial
And bezel, more brushed surfaces than polished. Same but different…..

Thanks for your reply. I thought the one I was looking at was the newer option. I like the busier dial with the red "Automatic" and all the bright shiny silver. But, if it's done, then I will look into the model you have. Thank you!

Sorry for double post.

So yours measures 45mm x 12.5mm (not as 'tall' as the older model that I posted about which is supposed to be 18mm depth)?

Is this the exact model you have, just with a SS bracelet instead of rubber? https://trustytimewatch88.io/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=16_137&products_id=22288

Ah ok, I thought that both are avenger seawolf. One with numbers on the dial and the other one without them:



I have the second one :)

Thank you everyone for your continued responses!

I originally wanted the Avenger Seawolf with the arabic numbers, which measures 45mm x 18mm. Based on feedback and pictures here, I will opt for the Avenger (non-Seawolf) with arabic numbers that measures 45mm x 12.5mm. Much better size and it is currently available from Trusty and likely other TDs.

I honestly didn't notice that some of the yellow dials were just "Avenger" and others were "Avenger Seawolf." I prefer the dial on the Avenger, but the size of the non-Avenger is much better for my average-sized wrists.

Thanks again, cheers.
