Hi everyone,
I'm new to this forum. Looks like lots of great people here. In a previous life, i worked on lasers for telecom, now just testing for chemical company in nj. Looking at buying my first breitling. Hesitating between skyracer raven blue dial or airwolf raven black. Any suggestions? Are ADs hard to come down a little?
Thanks for any help 8)

Welcome! I have a blue dial skyracer and love it, it's mechanical so quite different than an airwolf. Hope you enjoy whichever one you get.

:welcome: It's great to have you here. As far as a choice between the Skyracer and Airwolf it would hands down be the Skyracer for me simply because of the movement (mechanical vs. quartz) but I would recommend you go to your local AD and try them both on. One will speak to you. :D

Welcome to BreitlingSource.

As others have said mechanical vs. quartz so it's a no brainer for me. Read a few posts here and you'll soon see that 20% or so discount is easily obtainable in the US.
