kilohotel Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 Hi there guys, I just migrated from repgeek. I've been wanting to know, not too long ago I had a Breitling Avenger skyland V1 from replicawatch88. Though it was good looking, there were many flaws which I could not stand! The messed 1 on the bezel really bugs me, the crooked lume dots also bug me. Now, i'm looking for a new one. I currently have a BK franken-DSSD , a B01 ultimate and a noobmariner sub. I don't mind spending 400$ on a good rep, if it's anything like my DSSD and that those two main flaws aren't so blantantly obvious, which one would you take. Cheers! Kieran!

h2000 Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 Do you mean a good breitling rep or a good rep in general? There are quite a few "super" reps which include the new Pam series from the cartel as well as one of my old favorites, the chopard mille miglia xl. As for breitling, I don't quite remember but if memory serves, the ultimate chronomats are quite nice. Also, welcome! I too am a recent transplant from rg.

kilohotel Posted April 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 Nah, i'm looking for a new Breitling. I've had a SABS, but I'm looking for a Avenger skyland, Chrono-avenger, avenger blacksteel. but am wondering about which version to get, I KNOW tons of threads about the AS has been posted, but i don't know for the other two. thanks!

JKDDUDE Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 K -- The Skyland to get is the V2. I have the V3 and love it but it has a few minor and I mean minor flaws. The "1's" are off and the chrono pushers are a little longer than the V2 which is closer to gen. It seems to be a sticking point for the sticklers on the boards. I get it -- the Skyland is such a good rep, why not get it as good as you can? The V2 is a bit more money, too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JKDDUDE Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 K- Sorry for the delay...Any of the trusted dealers here are great. Try Josh or Andrew and get the V2 it's only around $270 I thinnk, so you can save the other dough. Black is most accurate but I have the gray and like it better. I'm telling you brother, the V2 of the Skyland is a great rep -- but make sure you get a QC pic or two before you accept. Look mostly at the lume dots for they are pretty hit and miss...

hackR Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 ummmmm...welcome to RWG... but seriously - please take a little time to use the search box to research a little...there are many posts that highlight the differences between v1, v2, v3 models...you can then decide what matters most to you...

kilohotel Posted April 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 well maybe you guys can help me, I've seen that the V2 skyland seems to be the most loved, now, if I were to buy a Skyland Blacksteel, what would be the most apparent flaws, I couldn't figure out if specific flaws on a Skyland also applies to a black steel. Any input on where I should get it as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andreww Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 The BS has the same flaws as the regular Skylands. Same dealers as already mentioned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeynutsack Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 The best skyland blacksteel is the V2, it is dlc coated other than the other versions which are pvd coated and they are not the right shade as the gen and v2. Hont has it for around $290 if im not mistaken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
