That's a great choice for a 1st (or indeed 2nd, 3rd, 4th or 5th) Breitling! :thumbsup:

Great Start to your Breitling Collection :thumbsup:

For me to go on and on about how gorgeous that watch is seems a bit self-serving, since I just bought the exact same thing last week. 8)
I can say the pics are great though. Looks like I need to get this baby off my wrist for a photo-shoot some time soon.

Great first choice, and welcome to the club!

An absolute beauty! I was lucky enough to snag a Blacksteel, which I really do love. However, had I not been at my AD at the right moment, I would never have got it, but I definitely would have gone for the Skyland with the black dial. I probably would have got the Ocean Racer strap, the stainless polished is great as well. I don't think I have ever seen a men's wristwatch that I admire more than the Avenger Skyland, that is any model and any colour of dial. I even looked tried on the Blackbird and Bentley 6.75, both incredible, but my love is still with the Skyland.
Congratulations and enjoy!
Cheers,
Carl

A lot of enthusiasts consider this to be the nicest model to be introduced in quite a while and I certainly wouldn't argue the point. It is gorgeous. Congratulations and wear it in good health!!

Cheers,
Ron

What a choice for your first, and definitely not your last Breitling.

Beautiful watch, and great pictures!

I have to say again that it's a beautiful watch. I have looked at your great pics a few times, and although I managed to get a Blacksteel, I still find the Stainless like yours to be an amazing watch. I got a Steelfish just before I found the Blacksteel, I only wish that I had bought the Skyland like yours instead of the Steelfish. It doesn't matter really which version of the Skyland one gets, I still feel it is the most beautiful of all the Breitlings, and certainly the greatest guy's watch I have ever seen.
Enjoy!
Cheers,
Carl
