  1. I dont think that its posting it that is the thing.

    Have he told you that your watches is finished and re-installed and ready for posting?

    As I understand there are several parts of this proceedure.

    Jakub collects, brings to a watchsmith that removes the crystal, then to a Lab that makes the coating, then back to the watchsmith and then jakub collects everything and mails back.

    I might be wrong , but thats how I understood the proceedure.

    He told me about one and a half month ago that my watch is finished and just need to be pick up from his watch smith and to be send by post office. But I have never heard anything else until now.

    Hope he still a nice person, hope he wont scam!

  2. I really hope we do not have to have doubts in his integrity...

    Well yes, but I started to lose hope now. My watch has been for about 3 month, soon is 4 and soon is half a year. Just forget it! What so hard to Go to post office in the weekend * just spend 1 hour of your lifetime* to post it, i don't think that is to hard and long right ??? Even the busiest man in this world can spare 1 or 2 hour of their lifetime.

  3. Hey Guys Its starting to get very weird. He has my watch almost for 3 month now! He said he would send me 1 month ago. But every week he kept on telling me "next week". And he havent reply to my email for like 1 weeks.

    I hope he can manage his time to send just 1 watch -___-

    Hope everything gone well there :( *I miss my watch*

  4. Hey As you all know my Skyland has arrived on monday morning here in Sydney :D, and after a few close look I decided to do some small review.

    First of all, this watch has great overall quality in case, bracelet, dial, and especially the AR.

    There are some quality issue that give away in the V2 model :

    1. Lume dot - Fortunately in my skyland, only one lume dot(5) that is place way out of the circle.

    1, 3, 4, and 6 lume dots are not perfect too as you can see in the picture below

    Other then that they are perfect

    2. I think the Arabic Numeral is bit to bold/embossed in the rep compare to the gen that resulted in some slope effect in some lightning condition

    3. Number 7 is to close to the lume dot, and number 11 is a little bit to close to the sub-dial comparing to the Gen here

    4. Bezel market is almost 100% correct (Pearl is nicely done too)

    5. Lume are not the best out there. My Chopard Mille miglia GMT has stronger lume, I said about the same as the Porche Desig, but the lume stay pretty long.

    6. The movement rotor is plain[Not engraved] - but luckily its not transparent back :D so its okay

    Out of all that small give away, everything else is perfect and nicely done.

    I did some weight measurement and it weight 234 grams including all the spare bracelet pieces, and it feels so *Heavy* in my wrist!.

    The etched "B" symbol, and the Breitling logo in the clasp is nicely done here

    They also did an effort by engraving in the back of the bracelet near the lug with some sort of serial number.

    The Crystal and AR are AWESOME! Even outdoor with direct sunlight, all you can see is the dial with no crystal at all. I would compare this AR with my Navitimer( currently with k2222 )AR once it come back. Date font is Great, crisp and feel like gen. The pusher for reseting and starting the chrono feels great!

    Summery:

    Pros:

    - Good quality case

    - Awesome AR

    - Crisp dial

    - Awesome Date font

    - Good engraving

    Cons:

    - Inconsistent Lume dot

    - Numeral a little to bold/emboss

    - Bezel is almost 100% correct

    - Lume aren't that strong in my Skyland

    - Fingerprints :p

    Overally its GREATT , and I would highly recommend this watch for anyone, even for small wrist it look Great in hand!

    Thanks For Reading

    Regards
