I don't know what you mean?? This watch does NOT EXIST in titanium as gen. So a rep in titanium wouldn't make much sense, would it?

Can any Avenger GMT owners on here tell me how the GMT hand is operated on the GF rep? The gen setting is to pop out the crown to the position 2 (date setting) and by turning clockwise, as opposed to anti-clockwise which adjusts the date.

Please let me know! [emoji106]

Date setting, counter clockwise for GMT. Clockwise for date on mine. It just replaces the day setting on a standard 2836.

Calling experts, is this a good rep??? I like the yellow dial

I'm not too sure about that one, but so far GF has been doing an excellent job on their reps. The blackbird, GMT, diagono, senator, etc have all been fantastic and damn close to, if not, in the super rep category.

As far as avenger ii SeaWolves go, this one looks like the first decent rep so far. The ANF factory attempts have been horrible, with the wrong case shapes and sloppy construction. At least the GF has the curved case between the lugs.

I'm looking at getting the black dial, something about the lume numbers speaks to me. I can't find anything about it other than this page from some Chinese fashion site? http://menclub.hk/mobile/article/article.php?cat=watchesandwine&aid=9494

I bought the ANF version in February. It is a POS. One of my worst Rep purchases. I have the GF Blackbird V2 and I just ordered the GF GMT. GF has been making some nice Breitlings. H Factory also is making nice Avenger's.

Just recognized this updated version. Have to check on Breitling's HK website if it really exists. But the watch itself seems to be amazing! Much better than this Avenger II Seawolf from unknown maker with that case flaws!

I like HK limited edition, but comparing with the gen in link above, I saw some flaws like: white paint instead yellow on dial (seconds lines), luminova numbers should be raised more etc.

The normal version with grey or black dial is now available on Toro's site. Looks very decent. Only engravings on bezel could be a tell. Seems they are made with a rounded milling cutter. But gen has got sharp engravings without rounded grooves.

It's a comparison between Avenger Blackbird not GMT.
