Sorry, I couldn't resist. I just wanted to see if I could pull it off without anyone interrupting. Please, feel free to delete them. ;)

Well, you may have just been a POST WHORE of huuuuuuge proportions, Aleister, but we'll let you off this time for general good behaviour to date! :wink: :lol:

Looks great (except bezel disalignment :twisted: ) and if it's 4-5 mm smaller, I'd be very tempted.

Very Nice
On a side note-how well does the black coating hold up to daily use?

There are a few threads on this. It's much tougher than PVD, but it is a surface coating, so the bare metal can show through if you get a decent ding.

I really love this piece but havent seen one in person yet. I was flipping through the breitling catalog last evening and noticed that this is a limited production model. How many were actually made? I would love to see one of these on a red band, it'd be really sporty.

My AD had 2 of these in their store this weekend for their watch fair. I'm not sure if anyone ended up buying them or if they still have them. If anyone is interested, let me know.

There are 3,000 of the SA BlackSteel, but depending on which catalogue you were flipping through you may have seen the AS Blacksteel, and there were 2,000 of those.

I was looking at the Breitling Chronolog 08 catalog. My AD gave me that as well as the Bently one the other day..... No Bently for me just yet though!!!

The 08 Chronolog has the Blacksteel Avenger Skyland in it. I don't believe the Blacksteel SA is in any of the chronologs.

It's not even in the Runway 08 if I remember correctly.
