I have been looking at these. Could someone please explain the differences and maybe a pic comparing the two. The only diff I see is the hands. Thanks. Also the avenger doesnt come in gray, correct?

The SA is 49 mm vs 45 mm and comes in white, blue and black. Lots of different reviews in here, just search for them.
Here are 2 pics of my:
SA
Avenger
The numbers on the dial of the SA are SS and realy nice shining, the numbers on the Avenger are white. I also like the different color of the subdials vs the black subdials from the Avenger.
Bracelet on the Avenger is better then the one on the SA, but I wear the SA either on the Ocean Racer or on a PAM leather strap.
In my opinion the SA is a better watch, it is big and heavy, if you do not like big watches get the Avenger instead of the SA. But the SA is an impressive watch.
The Super Avenger is a dinner plate. I did a review on one like Guru's. You might want to check it out.
Thanks for the answers you guys. I was just debating on which one to get as I am looking at a nice watch for christmas as a gift to myself. 49mm is HUGE. I use to wearing my rolex sub so that would be a big difference. Only reason I asked for pixs is because I have really small wrists and my concern is that it would be too big. The only thing I have tried on that is bigger is a navitimer and where I live there are no breitling ad's so it was hard to judge the size by looking at pics through the dealers. Thanks you all

Great post Fake, just checked it out. My wrist is 7 3/4 and I think it is ok. I like big watches.
I owned 2 fiddies but I must say that this one wears much more comfortable with the Ocean racer
or Pam leather strap then a fiddy.
I went to the AD and tried it on before I bought the rep.
It is definetly not a watch you wear under your shirt.
But when you are used to it, it will be on your wrist almost every day.
People will stare at you watch and will make comments about it.
I went from Rollies to 42 mm, then to PAM and now the watch must be at least 45 mm.
All my Rollies are in the watch box.

If you have a small wrist. Pick the skyland. Big wrist, go for the super avenger. Of course you also have to decide which band you plan to use on your watch. If you want to keep the rep steel, the skyland has a much better band. Links on the Super Avenger are way to thin. I personally have switched to a gen leather band for my SA.
I stand by my statement that those of you out there with 6" wrists look silly with SAs. 7 1/2" or larger and you should be fine.

Sorry for double posting you all. The joys of browsing the forum and responding on my blackbeery at work. My wrists are right at 6.75 inches so do you all think the sa would be too big?
I do think I like the look of the ss band, so the sa band being to skinny worries me. One reason I have always like the sa is bc of the gray dial instead of the normal black and blue faces on watches. Just very different imo

7 3/4 I think is the perfect size wrist for that watch. Also I have been hearing that the V2 Skyland has been having movement issues. But at least we fixed that lume dot. We did right? :lol:
they did, but isnt there the v3 which is like a v1 with the dot fixed? Well if 7.75 is a good wrist size it looks like my girly wrists might be too small, which sucks. Still might try a sa because I love the way they look and that grey dial with the double ar is just awesome.
