Breitling #2 is home safe and sound. In a less than shocking move, what came home on my wrist, was not really on my original list (not the color anyway). I narrowed it down to a couple, and just kept those on my wrist for about 10 minutes each in the store. In the end, there was one that just absolutely spoke to me. So, without furhter ado, I will fulfill my obligation to the group with some pics. And no, there was no possible way it was coming off my monkey wrist for any of these! :D

Great watch, and great pics! Congratulations!

Out of curiosity, what was on your original list and what other watches did you try on?

Avenger Skyland is great, regardless of dial colour and bracelet/strap combo! So great, that it actually changed to be my favourite model from the Blackbird, which I would have waited to purchase. I was lucky enough to find a Blacksteel at my AD, just sitting in the window waiting for me to pick it up. However, it was still a decision to be made about that one or the Skyland like yours with the black dial, which they had also. I just would have changed the bracelet for an Ocean Racer strap.
I think the Skyland will be a big hit for years to come. Congratulations!
Cheers,
Carl

Great choice for your next LING.

As always, awesome pictures! I don't think it's possible for Breitlings to get any more shinny!
