I just got a Breitling Avenger Skyland Chronograph. It goes without saying that I am extremely excited and love it.

Do ya think?

Lume dots and date look pretty good to me. I'm not the best to clarify but sure someone else may chime in!

Cheers

Sorry but I would have to agree with franklong, it looks like a fake to me. Lume and lume position are wrong. Pearl is not sunken enough. Is there any paperwork to accompany the watch and is there a serial number on the watch or has it been Photoshopped out?

for me its pretty clear. just look at the little lume dot at 3.... on helderberg's pics, you can see how even they look compare to the pics posted on this thread.
if the numbers on the watch are matching with the numbers on the cert. i would be amazed.

Try to get a straight on shot of the dial, better to see the lumedots then. But they seem a bit of to me, so I also think this is a replica.

Ohhhh.. nooo lol. where are the papers im pretty sure they dont match with the case back if you have any at all. That first pic is a dead giveaway. The lume dots look chunky and off centered. Id like to see where this goes.

This forum has inspired me to "revisit" some of my neglected watches also. Sharkman's Great White sale's post has rekindled my love affair with that watch. I've worn in more than ever since.

Beautiful Sklyland btw. Wear it in good health.

It sucks to say but yeah I have to agree the lume looks like its a fake! :cry: And the pearl isnt sucken enough unless its because the angle doesnt show it well.

Its weird it doesnt have a serial, even most fakes have a fake serial I believe. Doubt he photoshopped it!

Have to disagree with some points made here. I just received a brand new Avenger from Govbergs...my lume dot at the three IS smaller than the rest of them. Also, all my lume positions looks the same. This might of changed from the 'Avenger Skyland' to the new 'Avenger' as they call it now. I don't know about the other things, but that looks the same to me.

However, my chronograph 'circles' are half lined and half solid. His are ALL solid...so that is a difference.
