Actually the picture posted at the beginning of this thread is of a Breitling Super Avenger Blacksteel and not the Skyland Avenger Blacksteel! Although they look very much alike. If you look very closely at the bezel you will see the difference. Plus the Super Avenger Blacksteel has the words 'Swiss Made' at the bottom and also red markings inside the top totalizer. But what the heck...they both look the same anyways although the Super Avenger is a mechanical watch and the Skyland is not.
I came upon this thread quite by accident and I know it's over 9 months old, but I have a dilemma in that I can't make up my mind between the Super Avenger Blacksteel and the IWC Top Gun Double Chrono. I have to agree with another poster that the looks of the Breitling far outweigh the finer qualities of the IWC.
I tried on both at an AD and the Breitling is such an imposing watch that it blew away the IWC. It had way more wrist presence and looked like such a 'tool watch'. Still love the IWC, don't get me wrong, but my vote goes towards the Breitling.
