Can anyone confirm that the Avenger Skyland is offered with a two tone dial ie: Black Dial with Silver Sub Dial, Blue Dial with Silver Subdial. The Breitling website shows the Avenger offered with numerous dial options including the Black Dial with Silver Subdial. My problem is every AD I go to is unaware of this option and advise me that the Avenger is only offered in Solid Black, Solid Blue, and Solid silver or White (Can't remember). The one AD that I contacted that was of any help, said it might be an option as a "build your own watch" but still could not tell me for sure if it was possible. They also said that they would check with Breitling and get back to me. That was a week ago.... I really like the Avenger listed on the Breitling webite that is Volcano Black with the silver subdial. I reside in the Boston area and have visited over 5 AD's, without any success, so if anyone can provide me with a Pic or solid info it would be greatly appreciated.

I'm sure they exist. Problem is ADs need to sell the watches already in stock before they order more. Breitling might not even be shipping the new colors yet. I'm sure others will chime in. I too would like to see a real pic of a new color avenger. I know a white avenger is a new color so they seem to be out there.

The Avenger Skyland ( white mash numbers) is now discontinued. it was only ever available with matching black , blue, grey face/sub dials. It's replacement, the Avenger (silver numbers) is the same with addition of a white face as well, however there is also black face/white sub version but it has baton markers .Looking a lot like a mini SA. :lingsrock:

I am writing to you for an advice. A month ago I bought an avenger skyland and for this short time period it is 2 minutes ahead. Is this normal and how can I check whether it is not fake. I've got all the certificates and bought it from a licensed retailer, but you never know. So, do you know how can I check the authenticity? Thank you in advance!

COSC certification is anywhere between -4 and +6 seconds/day. In one month it would be possible to gain 180 seconds and still be in spec.

I've read here that it's a good idea to let the movement "settle" and measure the time loss/gain in another month or so.

Doesn't sound like there is anything wrong with the watch and if it came from an AD then it is real.
