About 5 weeks ago I received a gray Skyland Avenger. I had some problems with the watch, the second hand fom the stop watch was not 100% alligned to zero. So my watchmaker worked on it but the hands on that rep a very thin and he replaced that hand with a Sinn hand. I also believe that the lume dots are very poor centered.

Anyhow, I sold the watch to a friend and I am now thinking of getting a new one or getting a super avenger. I know the SA is a big watch but all pics I have seen here in the forum look great. My wrist is about 7 3/4 and I think that should be fine. I will go tomorrow to an AD and try one on.

Now what do you think about the quality of the SA? I know the bracelet is to thin but I will wear the watch on the ocean rubber.

From what I have read the SA is up there with the best. If you're going to put it on the rubber, then that will solve the biggest disappointment that most owners have with the watch!

Went to the AD today and I must say, it is an impressive watch, something for men.

Was worried about the size but it is ok

The SA is a keeper I just bought one, I am looking for an Ocean Racer strap for it as the clasp on the watch is a little disappointing the actual strap is fine though. not quite sure why the attention to detail didn't go down as far as the clasp!? The watch is very cool though, mine keeps excellent time and hasn't been off my wirst since I got it. :D

I would recommend it to anyone who likes Breitlings. I have fairly small wrists but I think it looks ok on and is fairly comfy. its an imposing watch and shouts look at me so I am not sure I'd like walking down the street with it on in a big city might as well wear a mug me sign its worth $5000/£3000!! :shock:
