| Post subject: | Red Ocean Racer Strap |
Greetings! Let me admit that I'm such a rookie when it comes to Breitlings, it's embarassing. I recently graduated from a Tag Heuer Formula 1 Chrono to a Panerai Base Logo. It's a very nice watch, but now I'm in love with a Skyland Avenger that I saw at my local AD. I stumbled across this forum via YouTube and I must say that you guys are on top of your game. Clicking thru the gallery section I saw a few Avengers sporting red Ocean Racer straps. I think it looks absolutely gorgeous on Avengers! I gotta have it! I plan to get an Avenger in the next few months. I have already phoned a few AD's in my area (Washington DC) and I was told that they are now discontinued. Does anyone know of an AD or private owner that might have one left for sale? If so, I would like to get my hands on it. Thanks for your help. |

They (the red OR) are discontinued, as Breitling had some problem with dye bleeding. I doubt you will find any at an AD, so your best shot is either ebay or trying to convince In2Deep or andrew692003 to sell theirs (if they still have them). |

Are my chances really that slim? |

I think so, unfortunately. |

Yeah, they were only available for literally about 3 weeks. They first appeared with the first 08 pieces from Breitling SA, and they had been pulled less than a month later. My AD only had one (which I bought and sold) and there aren't that many out there, which of course dictates the market. |

There has to be one out there for sale! I'll keep my fingers crossed. Thanks again for the input. |

Yes it is! Not the best pic tho, I really need to get a few more shots taken with the new camera and a lightbox. I seem to be wearing the AS with the black OR at the moment tho. Thats not to say I don't like the Red OR but there's certainly something about the Skyland on the Black OR. Cheers |
