I don't think you can find too many AS BS from AD's anymore. They're rapidly disappearing...but the SA BS is still being produced and you can locate one fairly easily with a little bit of research...or your AD can order you one.

The bezel on the AS is a little different than the SA. Plus, I think the SA has "Swiss Made" on bottom of the dial and the AS doesn't. I'm sure I might be missing other details, but they're pretty similar.

Subdials and bezel, it really does have "swiss made" on the dial (didn't notice).

Does Breilting still make a Blacksteel Skyland? It is not in the Chronolog 09.

Nope. One year only in a run of 2000 units worldwide. Same deal with the SA this year. Only 3000 for this one though.

Guys....dont forget the logo on the tang buckle; SA=embossed AS=flat (not sure about the terminology)

MY STORY>>>>
I purchased my AS BS thinking it would be the "ONLY" blacksteel from Breitling.
All of a sudden, out of left-field the SA BS comes out! Obviously, I would have preferred
the SA over the AS :(
Truth is, it gets very little wrist time ever since the SA joined the game and I am seriously considering trading it for something else 8)
