Been stalking the forum for a good while to lap up all of your pearls of wisdom!
So first of all thankyou for that.

Hoping to take the plunge this week and purchase my first Breitling, i was going to purchase a black steel SA about 8 weeks ago on a whim, but figured id better do some research in to it first and im very glad i did.

I'm still tossing up between a black dial avenger skyline, or a black dial airwolf, both with a diver pro strap. Does anyone have any advice? I like both watches equally, and would be wearing them as an everyday watch. The only reservation i have is that the water resistance of the airwolf doesnt seem to be very clear anywhere.

Any help appreciated

cheers

Firsly a warm welcome to Breitlingsource.

I don't own either model so will leave the pros and cons to those who do. All I can say is they are both great watches

WR on the airwolf is 50m.

Good luck with your decision.

Welcome to BreitlingSource.

One of the biggest differences between the Skyland and the Airwolf is the movement - mechanical (Skyland) vs. SuperQuartz (Airwolf). Not sure if that makes a difference to you or not.

Thanks Tim! Good to know that

I was aware of the mechanism differences, and that is a niggle of mine. I just dont know if i can justify over 2k on a quartz , even if it is a breitling.
Know what i mean?
But i do LOVE the look of the airwolf !
