Hi guys,

I was lurking on here and in the meantime I purchased the airwolf raven but after some soul searching I felt the Avenger Skyland was more me so I returned the Airwolf and picked up an avenger.

So here are some pics of my new keeper.

So far I'm enjoying the watch, I have only had it a week and its growing on me.

I have a pro II stainless and I picked up a Diver Pro I from Kodiak on this forum and I'm looking forward to giving it a go after I get bored with the ocean racer :lingsrock:

What ye guys think?

Excuse the bad pics they are from my phone...

Any landing you can walk away from is a good landing but any landing where you can reuse the plane is a great landing!

Fantastic 1st Breitling. My first was an Avenger as well. You made a good decision by adding the Pro II bracelet...you should also think about getting a calf or croco band. That will give it a totally different look.

Congrats on the new watch and :welcome: .

Looks great Max, always loved that dial design - clean chronograph that's easy to read. I think you have the straps about covered.

That watch has some heft to it. Do you find yourself always banking left? :lol:
Enjoy and nice to see you on the forum!

Affirm Kodiak, I have to factor the watch into my mass and balance data ;-)

Thanks for the strap by the way!

Thanks guys! Loving :lingsrock: at the moment.

I think I'm hooked!!

Next keepers would be the Super Avenger with Arabic and Silver Dials on pro II SS and also Emergency Mission FTW!

My first breitling was a skyland too, the same black dial but with silver hands and numbers.
Are you sure you want a superavenger? I've seen your wristshot and it's the same size as mine, and the SA is too big for my wrist.
