the dial seems from a real Skyland avenger

Dial is fake Skyland. Guess they have some fake Ti CA stuff laying around.

I like the way this looks though, never been a fan of the dial on the titanium model.

Agree with you mate, looks nice. Breitling does not make that but maybe they should?!?

Is the lume supposed to be like a dome, or flat?

I'm confused by this. Simple facts are that the dial is an Avenger Skyland (A13380) and the case is a Chrono Avenger (E13360).

However, the old (good) CA replica had a short chrono seconds hand and this one looks fine. Maybe a gen hand set? Also, If memory serves, all had the same s/n but don't have a pic to check.

The numerals on the dial look one piece so could be a fake but the lume dots are better than I've ever seen on a fake.

Someone has built a Franken but there could be gen parts in there.

Has anyone contacted the seller? Isn't the CA 44mm and the AS 45mm? Are the dials interchangeable?

Hmmmmm, interesting. I quite like it but still prefer the dial on my genuine CA.

Dial looks gen to me, but reported anyway as Frankenwatch.
