scorpion 0 Posted July 6, 2012 I was warned that joining RWG would result in a lot more watches and just a month in and Rep no 4 on its way. Overall I have not actually spent that much so far and not yet had any major grief from my wife - she already knew with 20 gens I had a bit of a watch issue! Anyway I had my eye on this one and it was reduced so I had to buy it I am not 100% sure what it is - to me it looks like a Avenger Seawolf chrono but its supposedly 50mm and the gen is 45mm. However the 50mm might include the crown. We will see once it gets here. Also the sub dials are closer together on this one and because of that the hour numbers are different. The movement is a Japanese quartz which is ok as a gen Seawolf Chrono is also Quartz. Hopefully it will be here within a week - the wait kills me! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Luthier 1 Posted July 6, 2012 If it's 48mm (not 50mm) - then it's Breitling Super Avenger. But I never seen SA with numerals and blue subdials before. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Corv99 2 Posted July 6, 2012 thats really nice..... thinksize may include the outer bezel.... haven't seen an SA like that before.... Design and face looks like a Seawolf.....but could be wrong Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dalboy 2 Posted July 6, 2012 Del will give you the heads up on this !!! as long as you like and enjoy wearing it , what else really matters.. Beware of exspensive imitations.!!! Dal.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scorpion 0 Posted July 6, 2012 I think it looks a lot like this one from the Breitling website but dial is a nicer blue on the rep Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scorpion 0 Posted July 7, 2012 I own a Gen SA and mine does not have numerals on the dial On the Breitling site you can configure it with different dials and there are both types. Too many options - would have to buy at least 3 types to satisfy my desire and destroy my bank balance! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

subiim 0 Posted July 7, 2012 At 48mm it looks kinda like a Super Avenger. But it's not particularly accurate (they come in numerals and batons BTW). I might be wrong. If it is an SA then it shouldn't be quartz. That's prob why it's reduced. I wonder if the chrono works. Anyway, nice watch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Seawolf Avenger Chrono gen is actually Quartz not auto and yes i am told all dial function which they should if its a jap quartz movement. Everyone is saying its a SA but its not, it is much more like the Seawolf Avenger as pic above. Maybe its a bit of both! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Frankt8242 1 Posted July 7, 2012 I've been around the "serious" watch world for 20+ years now, and I gave up even TRYING to keep track of Breitling models @ 15 yrs back!! They seem to change dials, sizes, colors and bracelets every 15 minutes!! So just about anything you show me with a Brietling label looks OK to me!!! i have never been a "fan" of the label, but I do own one of the really convincing SOSF's from a few years back...And I wear it a bit too!!

kolchak 17 Posted July 7, 2012 definitely a fantasy.... Avenger super-wolf chrono. No civilian would ever know.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The amount of versions possible from their website config option means they are tons of combinations and they keep adding new models every year so no wonder its confusing!

Del 4,527 Posted July 13, 2012 I think you are correct Scorpion - it looks like a rep of the Avenger Seawolf Chrono but it's clearly not a particularly accurate one. The bezel should only have 15/30/45 on it, the subdials are way too close together, the 3 and 9 are missing but it has a 2 and 10 instead, it should only be 45.4mm, etc.... Doesn't make it a bad watch though - it might look fantastic in person so just enjoy it because virtually nobody else is going to know their bezels from their backsides!

Cheers Del - it was at a good reduced price and my first Breitling, my Mrs bought it as a wedding anniversary present and as its a jap quartz I am more hopeful of it lasting a long time compared to a 21j and the gen is also a quartz. Still for our 25th in a few years she can get me a real gen Breitling! I spotted all the points you made (size is yet to be confirmed) and to be honest don't care as 99% of people I bump into would not have a clue. Should be here soon and I have just got some 58mm macro rings for my camera so will get some decent shots of it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

scorpion 0 Posted July 13, 2012 Nice Luth - but you don't really need both do you,so be a decent fella and post me the larger Super Avenger. I would look after it very well - honest Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BadPickle 2,802 Posted July 13, 2012 This is THE watch that found me this forum, although I never bought it, the blue face wasn't quite right. It certainly got my juices flowing for reps tho. I've since found pams, and that's gonna be my first, just in the process of nailing down which one. As its a first it's gotta be the one!!!!!It is a beaut tho, and I will get one some day. I particularly like where the date is, a little unique from any other. Enjoy your seawolf avenger!!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
