Hey folks,
I just returned from a "end of summer" family cruise to Nassau, Bahamas. I only agreed to go on this cruise because I knew there was a Breitling Boutique at that Port of Call. I purchased, I should say that my loving wife allowed me to purchase the 10' Avenger Seawolf limited edition in Blacksteel. I was also able to get a hold of the all coveted Breitling "The Book". The watch I bought was one from the back so I was the first and only to put it on my wrist and the book has never been opened so I was the first to look at its pages. Enjoy the photos!! The last is the Chrono Evo set up against my Navy NWU Uniform.

Which clasp did you go with on the blacksteel? I ordered the seawolf LE about 2 and a half months ago and I am still waiting for it. I'm hope the wait will be worth it. Originally I went with the tang buckle but after looking at pictures, and obsessing about it for about a month I decided to switch to the black steel push button folding clasp. I really think it balances the watch. Also, if you don't mind me asking, did you get any type of discount on it?

Dylang, I got the blacksteel push button folding clasp. It really completes the watch IMHO. Especially the micro-adjustment feature on the clasp. Great for larger handed people. I started my pricing at Little Switzerland and settled at the Breitling Boutique (just down the street from each other). L/S runs B/B and the price was exactly the same. I was in a "Breitling Comma" because they actually had the piece in stock so I didn't bargain. I was aware of the AD's price in the US and the Tax and Duty free pricing in Nassau beat the US retail prices hands down. I have been shopping for the blacksteel in the Blackbird and Avenger Seawolf since they were made available. The Blackbird is more of a polished blacksteel and the Avenger Seawolf is more raw and rugged in my opinion. You must be excited about receiving yours. I am excited for you. Good luck and let me know when you get yours, we can discuss the Limited Edition numbers assigned to our watches.
