scorpion 0 Posted August 3, 2013 22 years ago today I was getting married. My present from my lovely wife is a nice blue dial SOSF. For 25 years a gen will be in order but for now this will do nicely! My Review:- A bit smaller than my 45mm Avenger Skyland this is 43mm across the bezel and 17mm thick. Its still a hefty piece weighing in at 203g on the metal bracelet. Finish is very good but I smoothed out the clasp which had a slightly rough edge on the part you pull up to open it. The bracelet uses the little tiny screw and pin system for adjustment and was simply to do except for 1 screw that was a bit tight. The Bezel has a nice tight fit and clicks round smoothly but has a tiny bit of reverse slack. Crown is screw in type and is fine with a great feel.On arrival I tested it with 20 hand winds and it kept great time and lasted well over a day and night before it went into the safe until today. I love the blue dial with its superb details and logo, it has good lume and is very legible. Overall i am liking this one a lot - the question is for my 25th do I ask for a gen of this, an avenger or a Super Avenger...well i have 3 years to decide! On to some photos.................................. And there is the love of my life, my little bitch Jessie plus my Mrs! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
