Hi all,
I just put in an order at my local AD (La Swiss Toronto) for the new Avenger seawolf chrono blacksteel limited edition. This is my first Breitling purchase and I don't think that I have ever been more excited in my life! They said that they had to order it from Switzerland and that it would take approx 8 weeks until they would recieve it. Very dissapointing but I'm sure it will be worth the wait. Does anyone know, is that the average wait time? It seems a little long to me... Also, has anyone seen this model yet in Canada?

I decided to go with the diver pro strap with regular clasp (not folding). I couldn't justify the extra $700 for a folding clasp. The manager at the store has been great to deal with, plus they gave me 25% off! I'm very happy with that as it is a limited edition model and does have to be ordered in, which usually means a low discount.

I have one worry about the watch. I know the DLC coating is strong and scratch resistant but I also know that once it is damaged, it cannot be repaired. I do plan on wearing it as a daily watch (having it off my wrist as little as possible). Does anybody have any experience with the DLC coating? How strong is it? The scratches won't bother me that much, it will just give it more character. But of course, I would prefer to avoid it.

Hopefully I will hear back sooner, would be a great surprise! I will post pics And a short review when I finally get my hands on it.

All replies are appreciated!

Great looking watch you've got coming there, good choice! Can't help too much with your question but the wait will be excruciating! Can't wait to see the pics.

Cheers
