New Breitling Avenger Blackbird 44

Recommended Posts

So I ordered one from Torobravo's and did some rudimentary comparison with the gen. This watch really looks spot on. Minor difference that I could see.. is the bezel engraving depth of the numbers. The rest looks really good... even the grainy dial pattern is there. Coating looks to be DLC and it's one of the best PVDs you can get.

 

Minor comparison:

I'm confused as to chich is rep and which is gen, one has better engraving but the other has better lume application if the one were the lume is not straight is the gen then does that mean the rep is better than the gen???

Love it but I'm trying to avoid it cause of a PVD. My past experience with PVD coated watches are not very nice.

Didn't like it when I saw the model at first. Then checked it out at an AD and this is a seriously awesome watch in the flesh!

 

Very nice sir!

Besides the spelling, I would be afraid the coating would come off. How durable are the coatings?

I just asked a TD as I am looking to buy and they came back and said no. Still spelt wrong.

Also tried to order from Toros and InTime..... At both TDs the watch is not available- also no timeline was given when it will come in stock again...

 

Would like to have that watch.

I checked with a couple of TD's on this watch, it is available but advertised on their sites as being 316 DLC coated, anyone know where to get the black titanium watch other than Brietling.

TS-international advertises as black titanium however after repeated e mails with no answer I give up on them.

That is a great looking watch. Too bad it is out of stock.

An updated batch coming in a couple of days.

 

There is also a GF factory version available, it's also made of titanium.

ohhelloooo

I have the exact same watch and i absolutely love it. The misspelling does suck but its a minor thing when you look at the overall watch.

Uzi,

 

i did some research in the last days to find this watch, could not really find any of these on the TD page from rwg... but Intime has this model and it looks quite nice.

 

Link to InTime (InTime is a TD with other Forums)

 

GF uses a modified A.2824-2 25J Automatic movement with 28,800bph, (same specs as the genuine)

 

REP Vs GEN : Breitling Avenger V1731110 Blackbird by G Factory, Nice Correction (Dtime makes nice reviews and compares watches but i don't know if they are a TD anywhere else)

 

 

Hope this helps
