after a long 2 week wait my super avenger is finally here. this by no means is a detailed review, but since i found ABSOLUTELY nothing on any of the forums about this watch i thought i would share a bit...
first of all, since there is absolutely no AR i wanted to get the white face (less glare with a white dial), but after i ordered i found out that the white face was no longer available. i really wanted this watch so i went ahead and got the blue face. in doing my search for some type of review of this watch i didnt find too much, but what i did see was that alot of people thought that the ss chrono avenger was the super avenger. this is not true. the ss chrono avenger, which is a fantasy watch is 44 mm wide and the super avenger is a monstrous 48.4 mm wide with a thickness of just under 19mm. this is a beast of a watch.
**movement- old asian 7750 with 21k bph. this is certainly one of the things that worries me, but for the price of this watch i though i would roll the dice. the second hand at 9 sweeps smoothly and is keeping accurate time so far.
**crystal- said to be sapphire...i personally can't tell any difference, but what i can tell is the lack of AR. after having a couple watches with great AR this is one of the things that bothers me the most.
**size- 48.4 mm wide and 18-19mm thick. this is by far the biggest watch i have ever seen in person. the thickness really adds to the size.
**bracelet- nothing like the BCE...i would compare it to the quality of a navitimer, but i love the look of the bracelet. it is polished with the center link brushed. very sharp look and adds size to the watch since the center link is slightly raised...not that this one needs it.
**overall for the price its great. i would give it a C+ but due to the price i think it deserves a B-. if you like big, chunky watches this one is for you. i personally love breitlings and big watches so this just seemed to be perfect for me.

1) pearl. of course the pearl is not correct, but it really is not that bad...one of the better ones ive seen.
2) "4" on the 45 marker of the bezel is closed. the 4 is suppose to be open as you will see in the pics.
3) clasp should be polished, but is brushed. nothing a little elbow grease and a cape cod cloth cant fix.
4) NO AR. again...no ar on a breitling. bends me the wrong way, but hell it cost about 6-7% of the real one.
5) Date font. like 99% of the reps of course the date font is wrong. mine is also a little un-centered. i can live with it.
6) i dont know...im doing this kinda quick and im sure there are more, but lets get to the pics!!!
forgot to add...bezel is a little loose, but not as bad as i thought. ALSO, im 99% sure it is NOT sapphire. i believe it is the mineral glass.
***OH YEAH...THE BLUE IS DIFFERENT THEN ON THE GEN.
===Celebrities that wear this watch-- a couple i know of are Ami James of the show "Miami Ink" and also Criss Angel....the magic guy. pretty cool show if you never saw it.
