Help me decide, Bandit vs. Avenger II GMT

[karimeldib]

Hello there,
So, pursuing to add to my collection a Breitling for the first time. My main aim here is to get a rubber band and a LIGHT watch. All my collection now are very heavy that I have to take off during work. I need something looking good and light in the same time.
I like Bandit a lot, despite being too big - 45mm - but it is titanium. So I think it is going to be light. Anyone has an exact weight of it? Also, I like Avenger GMT on a rubber band, but if the Bandit is lighter I would go for it. I know also that GMT is on the NWBIGs.
Links are here for more info:

1- Bandit:

2- Avenger GMT:

Help me please

I have both watches and love them both just as much. As far as I’m concerned they are both keepers and mine are fitted with Swiss ETA:s for longevity. The Bandit is bulkier, where as the GMT is much slimmer. They both wear comfortably and the weight is not disturbing by any means. The GMT scraches easely due to the polished case and bracelet, which should be taken into account when picking a daily beater. The titanium case of the Bandit is softer but scratches does not show very much.

Thank you so much. Can you by any mean try to weigh them? I think I am going for Bandit, I like it the most. But the weight will affect my final decision. Thank you again

Avenger II GMT is ALWAYS a safe choice! I have the black steel but will buy the stainless steel version also. Awesome on the wrist, favorite from the first time on the wrist!

I’ve had both as well and kept the Bandit. It’s NWBIG in my opinion - never understood why it didn’t make the list.

I don’t have a good enough scale here at home, but if noone else knows the weight I can bring the watches to work on Monday.

Looks amazing but I am more into the Bandit. But as I said, the weight is very important to me currently. Thank you so much for the review

Me neither. It looks amazing and everyone says good words about it. I think it needs more review from people who owns it to become a NWBIG. Thank you so much and please attach some pics here for an eye candy

The Bandit weighs in at 145 grams. It is light compared to my H Factory Skyland Avenger that weighs 218 grams. The GMT weighs 156 grams.

The other option is to buy both watches one at a time.

Thanks @tkingjr

I was going to do that but I am currently sick and have not been to work for the last couple days.

Thank you so much. Bandit is a bit heavier than I expected. The original I guess is around 100 gm. However, it is still lighter than GMT, I guess as it is titanium. Thank you again

Thanks mate! I’m well now and went back to work again today. I’m glad you got the numbers you needed. Please let us know what you decide, and post some pictutes when you get the watch.
