Thanks Brian! All the Skyland promo pictures I've seen show the black face. I think the blue sets off the steel nicely. Either way - it certainly catches some attention :D

I really like that. Kind of nice to see a Chrono Avenger platform watch in something other than titanium again.

Hi Martin.

The Skyland is VERY beautiful !
I like them pretty much.
Especially the "Blacksteel" !
Only thing I dont like is the cutted small hands.

Yours is one I like to call "Blue Beauty".

Cheers Bone

Thanks Bone. I like the name. The thing that caught my eye with the Skyland was the numerals. There's something about them...

YES ... you're right.

These numbers are totaly different to all the others.
Thats what makes his own recognaisable face !

With the bracelet it looks pretty heavy.
Do you have weight ?

Cheers Bone

Nice watch, when I went to purchase my SA, the AD said they haven't recieved ony Skyland Avenger yet. My salesperson showed me his notepad, that someone requested a skyland.

Bone, It's pretty heavy. I'm not sure of the exact weight. Breitling's tech data say that the Skyland with rubber strap is about 110g. I'd put this closer to 150-200.

Hi Defiancekofb.

I had to hunt around a little. The first few dealers said they were waiting on stock. I ended up finding one at Tourneau. Worth the hunt I think!

Cheers,
Martin

I think so too.
That quit a good weight.
So you feel you have it with you ! :wink:

Cheers Bone.
