NICE Trade indeed. Watch looks good on the wrist. The 3mm diff in size between the two def is a big difference. Nice trade and pick up

That is very nice! I really love the detail they put in the sub dials. Anyone know the measurement differences between this model and the SA?

The diff between the SA and the AS is as follows

SA = 48.40mm with thickness 18.60 weight is 153.30gr
AS = 45.00mm with thickness 17.40 weight is 144.30gr

Both use the 13 caliber

One of my favorite B-lings.

Great choice!

Excellent choice. That is an amazing watch, and in my opinion better than the Blacksteel. It certainly has a presence on the wrist. The subdials in the lighter blue look great, I don't recall that effect on any other Breitling. Also the stenciled effect of the numerals is great. The other good thing is that because it's a new model, you are not in danger of having it updated or improved soon after you purchase it. I got a Steelfish recently, and I really love the new PRO II bracelet as well.
Have fun with it!
Cheers,
Carl

Awesome trade, especially if it was straight up! I much prefer the Skyland over the CSO, though both are nice watches.

I much prefer this over the black steel, absolutely stunning. Would love to see Breitling come out with a white dial version.

The CSO that I traded was recently purchased (two weeks ago), the differance was $60. Would a brown strap look good?

No!

Don't degrade your Ling with a strap!
