Over the last few weeks its been a bit quiet on the Breitling front.

However late monday afternoon a trade was agreed with a true gent Steve(shalako).
So a quick trip to the PO to catch the last post and tuesday morning this arrived(on its polished pro 2 bracelet).
This afternoon i gave it a go on a brown leather and this has totally transformed the timepiece and the following set of
photos are of a nice deblinged Skyland.

Thanks for looking.

Congrats Colin! The Skyland is a great and classic Breitling IMHO. Nice chunk without being too large, and I love the military arabics. Well done, and wear it in good health. :lingsrock:

Many congrats Colin, it looks great,....(and a little familiar) :wink:

Leather, Rubber or Pro II, - the Avenger Skyland carries them all off easily.

Enjoy!!!!

Best wishes,
Nick.

That's a perfect combo. I'd definitely keep this compared to the bracelet. It give is a "Blood Diamond" look. :lingsrock:

I knew there had been a fundemental shift in me when I spent at least as much time looking at the CA on brown strap as Jennifer Connolly. My first Ling purchase was a foregone conclusion.

best combo ever, with calf or croc.
It also looks good with rubber strap.
Enjoy.

Awesome combo Colin, congrats.

Can only be bested with a gold croco strap IMHO.

I know its been said before but a different strap can change the look of the watch.

I have bothh the bracelet and rubber strap with deployment. You have me thinking about a croc or calfskin as well! The straps really change the look! It's nice to change it up without having to go to a different watch.

Good pics!
