are we all going to revisit somali pirate head shots again?!...or should we stick to the search for perfectly centered skyland lume dots?!...

@boncovi --> no need to get nervous...many reasons for it to vary...keep the faith!... R-

i just got to work today and my orange bezel model was here!...it came last friday, 5/8 (i wasn't here friday)...shipped to the USA/NY on 4/26... looks great...i don't have my black bezel one to compare it directly, too...but looks to be identical...perhaps a slightly difference caseback design -- but if it's different, its ever so slight... only complaint...the blue sticky protective film left a nasty residue on the bracelet endlinks and clasp...will have to get that off...blue'ish AR tinge is the same as my black bezel model... all in all, another great watch... love the orange color...it stands out, but without a lot of fanfare... i plan to have my local jeweler size it -- as i did with my first PO...definitely have someone with a press and the tools size it!...after sizing, i plan to put the watcheden black rubber on this one...my rubber came awhile ago while i was waiting on this one...gonna leave the black bezel on ss and put the rubber on the orange one... R-

excellent tutorial...nice work!... R-

gorgeous...congrats on a beauty!...R

well done, Ubi...a great read... R-

hey relox...long time no see?!... i see you are following my lead...black/white bezel on ss, and orange bezel on black rubber...a great set... i traded both my 42mm orange and a UPO orange over the past few months... butttttt - i ordered another 42mm orange --> which should arrive early next week...shipped on 4/26 to US/NY... R-

Ditto squared...mine was shipped 4/26 to USA/NY...if it's the same leadtime from Thailand, i'll see it mon/tuesday... an orange sister to my black/white... R-

ya know..as i typed this thread, i was thinkin of excluding you Lani...in the interest of not crashing the site server!... R-

the Slevin is a seriously sexy watch... by far one of the freakin best out there... the best...no contest... wouldn't trade mine for anything...anything... R-

nice looking watch...all kidding aside... and i hav to say that the best watches are those of sentimental origins...priceless... enjoy it...R

yellow card, wheaton!...

i'm with ya Corg!... seems to be tooooo much like a short-circuited timex indiglo?!... that aside, what about ninjas?!

i just replied to another Breitling post and rambled about the Breits I own...all are reps, except my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE GRAIL gen watch (2002 ti/gold, black dial Aerospace w/ ti/gold utc bracelet... so -- i'm thinking let's self-confess on our Breits...no need to post pix...just a quantity and their flavors...pix if you hav 'em... as of the writing of this post, 5/7/2009, 10:08pm EST (chopard mm gt xl chrono time), here's my inventory: My rainbow of 8 Breits - 8 different models (clearly showing a HUGE blue dial gap?!) 1. white dials - SFSO on brown rep croc deployment, josh "fantasy" chrono avenger, polished ss bracelet: v1 ti model casing in polished ss - modded with utc link...yes - this is the watch that most ignore -- it's a polished ss white dial beauty with the same detail/casing as the rare and pricey ti v1 chrono avenger... 2. off-white dial - Navi World GMT on Gunny Mona strap 3. black dials - tri-compax 3-6-9 numeral v1 navi on polished ss bracelet -- needs black croc strap, tho (bought w/ help from andreww...thank you very much), gen aerospace ti/gold w/ ti/gold bracelet - with added utc, blacksteel on hktan red/black, Blackbird on brushed ss bracelet 4. grey dial - v3 skyland on black diver pro rubber Needs: 5. blue dial: gen Navi or rep Skyland 6. v1 ti chrono avenger - a man can dream can't he?!... i hope we all enjoy this post...not for the faint of heart!!! R-

v3 blue on blue rubber is $208 from peter...quote from y'day...i was inspired by our revered andrewwwwww to check out the blue again...why?...well, as Toad says, a lot depends on your Breit collection...i, too, went the grey skyland route b/c i felt it was most versatile...Lani was his typical zenmaster on dial color and helped with his post on grey vs. black dials on the skyland... i, too went with peter b/c of price... i need a blue dial Breit...after buying Hike's gen Aerospace, i am doing my best to not harass him to buy his blue gen Navi - which is by far the grail of blue dial watches...so, i thought i'd price-check the blue skyland... My rainbow of Breits (which justifies my blue need gap?!) 1. white dials - SFSO on brown rep croc deployment, josh "fantasy" chrono avenger, polished ss bracelet (v1 ti model casing in polished ss - modded with utc link) 2. off-white dial - Navi World GMT on Gunny Mona strap 3. black dials - tri-compax 3-6-9 v1 navi (bought w/ help from andreww...thank you very much), gen aerospace ti/gold w/ ti/gold bracelet - with added utc, blacksteel on hktan red/black, Blackbird on brushed ss bracelet 4. grey dial - v3 skyland on black diver pro rubber R-

lume is cool...kinda like ninjas?!... oh no...not ninjas, again...

forgive me...even tho your call was for wrist pics, i simply have no self-control when it comes to the lume on this watch... what's a Slevin thread w/o lume?!?! (pix by chinkiechunkie - when he was the keeper of this beauty...ziggified/watchdog lume)

mine looks the same as chinkie's...oooops...it is the same... this is an amazing watch...it has to be one of the best watches to blend sportiness with elegance...jeans, business casual, suits, etc... one of the best dials by far...in daylight sun, it really sparkles..it catches the light and a lot of attention...the markers and hands beam...and with no crystal (crazy AR!)...and after the dial is ziggified or relumed, it glows like a torch at night or after you come in from direct sun...perfect size diameter for my 7.25" wrist...bracelet is fantastic...i haven't put on the rubber yet...and with the eta datewheels this screams gen... by farrrrrrrrrr, my best overall watch purchase...thanks, Chinks!... now i'm inspired...gonna park today's chopard mm gt xl chrono (a la mickey padge) for my Slevin tonight for dinner with the Mrs... if you don't own this watch -- save up -- buy it modded or unmodded -- but get it relumed and eta datewheel swap... mine has the rep AR, which some say is actually very accurate to the gen... R-

Mick -- I have it's older brother the XXL manual wind...it is a great looking watch...it is by far my largest watch at 49mm...love the thickness -- and it does lay down/wear nicely...and as lani says, the lume on mine is great, too... love yours...great strap... beautiful Omega...wear it well... R-
