I wanted to say a big "thank you" to this Forum for all of the good advice and guidance you've provided me regarding the world of Breitling. I have been a BIG fan of this manufacturer for a number of years and became a recent devotee to this site as I became more determined to become a Breitling watch owner. To that end, I'm happy to report that I have taken the plunge today and now have a Breitling Skyracer to call my own. A beautiful piece with black dial and professional bracelet. Also ordered a black croco strap for occasional use if I'm in the mood for a different look. Again, I'm appreciative to the many experienced members of this forum for their sound comments and advice on these wonderful instruments. I'm loving my new purchase!

Yeah.. the Skyracer wasn't the most popular watch for some reason, but I do really like it. Pics would be fantastic! :)

OK guys. Here's my initial attempt to provide you with a visual on my new Skyracer. I'm 24 hours into owning this piece and loving every minute of it. This is my first attempt at posting images, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed all goes well...

Definitely on my short list. Although I prefer the slate w/ black dials.

I sure wish the closest AD wasnt a 2 1/2 hour drive......

Congrats on a great looking and really functional Breitling.
