Well there's the one for today's Eye Candy post! I hope this motivates you to get one, I think I've seen enough of your posts over the years to be pretty confident you will love it, its great to have someone producing quality Bs again.
Yes, it is refreshing to see a maker that is going above and beyond to get "it" right the first time. I don't like that makers always want to release newer versions that have some minor or major update so ppl will buy again. I will purchase one soon, working on a Ginault atm.

Thanks again for the beautiful photo's, the blue dial looks amazing.

Message from Lucy is that she has had 3 members wanting to buy the bracelet version with the correct date font, but there are none left at GF. This may be rectified in the next batch and GF boss is aware but this can't be guaranteed. I would still recommend getting the watch as its a cracker especially with the correct pearl, and the datefont isn't that noticeable and relatively easy to change. Just go for it!

Hey guys. Received yesterday. Even though lucy had said the correct date font wasn't available and had no idea when would be but I went and ordered this to TSWATCHES anyway. The watch is so good that you can ignore the font I don't even find it an easy tell...there will never be a perfect rep..afterall look at what you're paying......Grab it before GF makes another version with correct date but wrong something else lol.

Attaching some wrist shots.

Btw TSWATCHES offering 16 percent off on credit card payments so it was quite a good deal. Arrived me in 12 days flawless packing and response by the TD I am very pleased

Hey guys, I'm very close to buying this piece.. I'm still little afraid it would be too big for me. I just recently abandoned the idea of buying Colt and getting the Avenger instead of it. Would anyone be so kind and measure the lug to lug? I can't find this measurment anywhere, gen or rep.. Lug to lug is sooo underrated, it imho tells you much more than the diameter!

I don’t have the measurements but tried a gen on in the store. I have a 7 1/4 inch wrist. Hopefully that gives you a little perspective.

It makes me even more worried, my wrist is just 6,5 inch (16,5cm) :D It looks just about perfect on you, the right sweetspot so it has enough wrist pressence and can't be bashed for being oversized. I'm kind of built, not skinny but my wrists are.. so I'm afraid the lugs would hang over :/ It's really impossible to find lug to lug anywhere

I still have some room on my wrist. If there’s a breitling store nearby I would just go and try it on if your unsure.

Why not just give it a go anyway or maybe try it on in a jeweller? If 42mm (i think rep is 42mm but gen is 43mm but could be wrong) is too big breitling reps won't be for you....im not aware there's any decent 41mm reps of the likes of the colt or galactic.....i think you'd be ok with the gmt though. Wouldn't decide solely on someone else's wrist shot. If it did turn out too big, you'd flip it easy and not lose out on much.....just a thought....

very helpful thank you, 50mm lug to lug should be fine!

The gentleman above helped a lot. I will be getting that watch :) My biggest watch is a Parnis PAM Homage which is around 54mm lug to lug and I can barely pull it off, so Avenger should be just fine.

I'll measure up for you later, however its also the shape of the lugs and they ate swept down on the gmt 2 which means they hug the wrist more making it work better for smaller wrists. its also very thin for a Breitling so doesn't sit as high on the wrist which helps. there's also no sel. here's mine and i'm about 7.25 wrist

Watch diameter is 43mm from outside of bezel tab at 9 to outside of bezel tab at 3, and 42mm not including the tabs. So rep is very accurate.
