The Mrs and kiddo just got a pile of new snowboarding gear so I'm buying a new watch. Decided to grab another Breitling rep and have narrowed it down to these:

Avenger II Seawolf DLC v2

Avenger II GMT DLC v2
http://www.trustytime02.cc/index.php...ducts_id=20561

Looking at the bezel engraving I'm leaning GMT.

And I'm still fighting the urge to just get the Hurricane w yellow face since it at least has correct numbers but someone pointed out it looks to be lacking the blue ar

I'd say it depends on the size of your wrists. If you have huge wrists and forearms, go with the seawolf. If not, go with the GMT. The thickness of the seawolf can be awkward to wear for many people.

yes, I agree, its a beast, but I have 8" wrists, so not too bad....

I think im around a 7-7.5 wrist. My Omega CrPO isnt exactly small (45mm version) and it fits me well.

My current collection includes a 44mm SO2, the 45mm CrPO, and a 40mm BLNR so I think the GMT will fit right in line and fill a slight gap. Doesnt hurt its on the NWBIG list.

So I got my buddy interested in reps ... All he has seen are pics of mine and is wildly suspicious of reps and how close they can be to gen. But he wanted to give it a shot and based on his tastes I swayed him towards the Seawolf since he said to "get what I got" but when I questioned he said the 42 was borderline small when he tried on gens. Plus ... Knowing him he will buy a gen soon and I'll be able to scoop this back at a discount :)

Anyway, it came in today and I'm shocked at the size difference. Dwarves the GMT!

Do you have a link for
the above GMT? It’s beautiful. I recently purchased the Seawolf II from trustytime. Beautiful watch and great service.
