Hello to all the nice guys of this forum,wich lately i've discovered.Although i have always respected Breitling,never considered myself buying one or getting a fan of the brand.My major interest is in Japan origin watches,especially Seiko's.My only Swiss,an Omega seamaster,was sold a year ago....until i saw at an AD a Skyland in brown leather with slate dial.Wowww!!!After half an hour the watch was mine,and now i'm into Breitlings for good!!!Sorry for the bad picture,the watch and especially this combo is a beauty :love:

Nice watch! On the brown leather it looks a liltte like the CA worn in Blood Diamond.... but with all the shiny goodness of stainless steel! Nice one.

Welcome aboard!

This is one of my favorite Breitlings.

When you get tired of the strap, save up for a bracelet. You'll never break out the strap again!

Thnx for the warm welcome!!!
I only wish my Skyland had better lume,but hey,the rest of the watch is so perfect executed,it does'nt really bothers me....
I'm thinking about the rubber option for later,the summer in Greece is way to hot&last long,it can destroy the finest leather in a month if dailly wore....
Flynbyu you're right when i'll get tired of the strap changing,the best(&most expensive) solution will be a nice proII bracelet... :D

Welcome Xrays! Stunning watch!! Looks great on the strap, but the bracelet would give it a real presence. :lingsrock:

I was wondering how the brown strap would look with the SA.

Seems to me that you have a great combo going there.

When you change the strap over to the rubber one, be sure to post some pics of how it turns out!

Αctually my AD also had a SA,white dial-brown leather strap,and the price was the same.I recognize it was one of the most impressive watches i've ever seen.But i liked better the Skyland,lower profile and newer model.And those subdials.......
