  1. Well, that answers my question. That'll be one to look forward to. Aren't the Skylands simply the non-titanium Avengers?
  2. No, I mean Breitling's "Stratus Silver." That first watch is an EVO, not an Avenger.
  3. Does anyone have a Skyland with a silver dial? If so, can you post pics?
  4. True, they can, but if you're careful and take your time, it can be avoided. Been doing it every couple of months or so for a couple of years now.
  5. Started out with an obsession for the Chrono Evo. Unfortunately, at the time, there were really no good reps of the watch. Shortly after I saved all my pennies to buy a gen, the good CE reps came along. Bought another gen Breitling since then, and have not surfed the rep boards for a few years. I now see there are some very good Chrono Avenger, Super Chrono Avenger, Blackbird, and Navi replicas on the market. I'd sure like to have one of the silver-faced Skylands. Unfortunately, after two gens, my wife says I'm done "trading!"
  6. I recently bought a gen B2 NIB for $2250.00
  7. Once every few months, I polish up my gen Chron Evo. I start by polishing all deep scratches with a dremel with a felt polishing tip, using jewelers metal polish, the cake-type that comes in large tubes. This gets the scratches out, but leaves the finish uneven and dull in places. I then put it on the bench-mounted polishing wheel to even out the finish. From there, it goes to a good once-over with simichrome and a cotton cloth, and finally, I wipe on some master formula metal gloss polish and buff it off with the cloth. The metal gloss really adds a final touch of the "wet look" to the metal.
