Hey everyone, I am looking for my first grail. I guess I been collecting for a few years and I am going from quantity to quality. So I am looking for a Breitling and I found Andrew Michaels offering the last in line of the Avenger Skyland models. I been in contact with Richard, a class act, and I am thinking I should go for it. The price seems good and I have 7 1/4 wrist...So I think the avenger skyland should sit on my wrist pretty good and I'm looking for a good experience with an AD...

Any thoughts from the community...Thanks

Joe

Sounds like you have it thought out. Choice of watch has to be personal, but it's a very flexible first watch and likely a better fit for your wrist than an SA.

Avenger skyland is an awesome watch. I don't think you can go wrong with it. I say go for it!

George Costanza once stated "If you believe it,
it's not a lie". If you're comfortable with your
selection, it's not wrong or bad. Plus, as the
sole decider & investor, the choice is yours.

This is true but when one studies the stars for so long they can give valuable insight to those who only have a cloudy view of the beauties and of the AD...There is safety in the multitude of council...Thanks for the responses,

Peace n Life

If you're looking for testimonials for Andrew Michaels I'll add mine. I'm a fussy so and so and have found them faultless to deal with.

Hey Thanks, I found Richard a class act....What are your thoughts on the Skylands that they have for a good price?

You won't go wrong with Andrew Michaels. I was on the verge of buying a Skyland from them at Waddington Airshow, then remembered about other commitments i had. The price was excellent !
