Any opinions on this watch??? Just tried one on and it seemed really nice

Mac-Apple · 16 May 2012, 02:45 PM

Owned a black baton Sa for 2 months, and was bored out of my mind with it. The watch is to big at 48mm , unless you have a 7.5 wrist or bigger , it looks goofy when wearing it.

azguy · 17 May 2012, 12:33 AM

to big for me too

tkc324 · 17 May 2012, 03:39 AM

I think its a great watch if you have the wrist to pull it off. If not, the Chronomat would be the better choice.

jccle117 · 17 May 2012, 09:16 AM

I think it's more about how comfortable you are with it on. Yes it's a monster, but if you like that style then it's a cool watch to have. I used to sell that watch more than almost any piece I stocked when I worked retail. Big, small, fat, skinny, muscular...everyone. If it's too big, the regular Avenger is slightly smaller, but it has limited dial choices and the two are the same price.

boogiebot · 19 May 2012, 05:40 AM

i had a white dial with baton on blue croc and got bored pretty fast. the watch is HUGE. its not just the dial size the thickness makes it a monster. like mac said you have to have 7.5 inch wrists and up. to be honest it looks better on a guy with 8 inch wrist and up.

rohardi · 19 May 2012, 09:27 AM

I'm 5'7" athletic build with a 7.5 inch wrist and have no issues and love it. I also love it for the BIG in your face look.

Jsan20 · 24 May 2012, 12:02 PM

My brother is 6ft9 and it looks awesome on him.

david_ord · 24 May 2012, 06:25 PM

I'm very tempted to buy it at Costco for about $4600. Do you guys think that's a good deal? Or do you think I can get a better deal?

pmar124 · 26 May 2012, 04:32 AM

I've seen that at Costco too! It is a large size. If you are thinking of something more reasonably sized, maybe the normal Avenger is better.

Yeah, there are better deals out there. Use the AD I sent you via PM and he'll take care of you.

I had a white SA - and loved it -
but it drew too much attention - more then any Rolex or other brand I've worn.

it really did push the limit of how large I will go with a watch - I doubt I get another at that size. My Omega PO is 45.5mm - and that's my new limit -

check out the skyland - I think it's almost the same watch - but a few MM smaller.

c.rod · 4 June 2012, 10:53 AM

one , if not the only good reason to have 8" wrists.... :) and be 6'3".....

gwalker · 6 June 2012, 04:53 PM

I tried one on today an it was nice but huge. I have 7.75-8" wrists so I could pull it off but too big for my liking. The quality was very nice.

Varoom · 9 June 2012, 02:44 AM

i recentley sold a black baton dial super avenger and a blacksteel super avenger to buy my Deepsea.

i loved the super avenger..

but ive lost about 45lbs and it just looked too big on me.....so the Deepsea is my new super avenger

RRKnight · 9 June 2012, 01:57 PM

Love it!

cruisedaddy · 13 July 2012, 08:52 AM

I own one and I love it, but it's pretty big!

wowie74 · 13 July 2012, 12:03 PM

Sold mine. Too to heavy on me, my Carpal Tunnel is getting worst!!! LOL

sdhornesq · 16 July 2012, 10:52 AM

Does anyone have a picture of a Super Avenger and Avenger side by side. Interested in whether the 3 mm difference is all that much.

StealthGHost · 25 July 2012, 10:28 AM

Great watch need a 8"+ wrist to pull it off imo.

watchking123 · 3 August 2012, 07:32 AM

i have 2 of them and i would never sell them i love these watches!!!

steveclocks · 3 August 2012, 11:21 PM

I love mine too, won't sell it

Davecrack · 9 August 2012, 12:43 PM

I am 5'9 and a larger build- Love my super avenger- Its large and heavy.. you get used to the weight about a week after first wearing it.

steveclocks · 11 October 2012, 05:03 AM

post mine again

1Daytona · 17 October 2012, 09:08 AM

I owned a SA with the black dial with baton hour sticks. Very nice watch but I felt it was too big and too flashy for my tastes. I also noticed that the bigger the watch, the more chances of banging the watch into things like door frames and desk drawers, just my opinion. The SA certainly will draw attention wherever you go. I'll stick to my titanium Chrono Avenger which is smaller.
