Dartsbrawl 0 Posted November 7, 2011 Hi All! New member from Norway,I've been collecting gens for a few years but has very little to no knowledge of the world of replicas. I had to gut down my 20+ collecting to the bone,due to unforeseen financial challenges..that is,divorce ;D Still got my 16600,116610 LN and a handful of vintage divers and chronos,but rebuilding the collection is not an option,I had a good run though.. Thing is,there are so many nice watches out there and if I were to stick to gens.. well,I wouldn't Get to try out as many as I'd like,now would I Hoping to learn a bit about replicas as I go along,seems to be a great deal of knowledge and humour within the forum,always a good thing. My first target will be to find a really good High-end Blacksteel Chrono,still not sure whether to go for the SA,or the regular 45mm Avenger though. I've been looking at a few from Perfect Clones,and TrustyTime,that looks like excellent quality,but I probably should do a bit more research before deciding though,so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thats me then,let the fun begin! Wish me luck! -darts Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Luthier 1 Posted November 7, 2011 Good luck, Darts, and welcome to the forum! If your wrist is 8" big - go for Super Avenger, if smaller - buy Avenger Skyland. Try Mary (Watchinternational) or Robert (PWC), or MR, best dealers ever. Read more, you'll get tons of knowledge here!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dartsbrawl 0 Posted November 7, 2011 Many thanks gentlemen @Luthier: the Skyland Avenger it is then.Do you happen to know how the quality of the rubber straps compare to the gen one? I really like the look of the standard Breitling rubber,but if it's not of decent quality I might be better of looking at a non-blacksteel Avenger on leather or SS bracelet? Many thanks for your help and pointers BTW: I take it MR refers to Marvellousreplicas,on the trusted dealers list? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
