Can anyone tell me what variations were available on this watch?

Was the case available in both a polished and satin finish?

Was the face available with either stenciled numbers or batons?

Strap wise I guess you could get it with either the stainless professional bracelet, rubber strap with either deployment clasp or tang buckle?

Thanks in advance

Alan

Interesting about the face, I have seen some for sale, all claiming to be genuine, some with stenciled numbers and some with batons???

Which face is correct?

You're right, sorry.

After the initial LE they did issue a baton version - http://www.breitlingsource.com/phpBB2/v ... =1&t=24269

And they were in both polishes too. The stencil was polished and the batons were brushed.

The thread was an interesting read, it seems the version with the stencil dial was all polished where as the baton version had a satin bezel and top watch case.

Typically, for me, I prefer the stencil dial and the brushed finish!

Anyone know how many of the limited edition run of 1000 had the stencil dial and how many had the baton dial?

I think I have found one for sale which is brand new, going to make a call tomorrow.

It will fit nicely in my collection which will then consist of two blackbird black steels (one will go up for sale to fund the code yellow) the Avenger code yellow and a grey face titanium avenger Seawolf.

If you like the code yellow look but want an in house movement, you should check out one of these. It's a limited edition Chronomat 44 that my AD and forum sponsor had 50 of them made.

That's a nice looking watch, more details please, where can I get one and now much!

Edit: Dare I say it needs little more yellow in the face design.
