piratedzeus Posted July 16, 2008 Report Posted July 16, 2008 Thanks andreww. I think we are all now waiting for some shots of the Angus-Skyland. If I offended anyone, I apologize...
Rolexman Posted July 16, 2008 Report Posted July 16, 2008 Are the fine lines reproduced on the left side of each subdial? I can't see them in your pics (too dark). Yes As can be seen on King's pics posted earlier
docblackrock Posted July 16, 2008 Report Posted July 16, 2008 Docblackrock, your post seemed to be a personal attack on me, at least that is how I read it, but any humour there went straight over my head. I only saw you having a dig at me and my integrity at work etc.... I apologize if I reacted harshly, I must have read your post in a different manner to which you intended it.... Cheers! Fair enough, crossed wires, apology accepted. You've been around here a good while now, so I'd ask, have you ever known me to have a dig at anyone never mind question their integrity? On a lighter note, I think those who held back are going to very happy next week
andreww Posted July 16, 2008 Report Posted July 16, 2008 Thanks andreww. I think we are all now waiting for some shots of the Angus-Skyland. If I offended anyone, I apologize... No offense her PZ. BTW, I have to say that I think Angus' attempt to sabotage J&As sales with nothing but veiled rumors of an "Ultimate" version is very underhanded indeed. He got beaten to the table with this one, and is simply trying to stop the bleeding. If he wanted to post dial or case pics of his version, that would be fine, but to try and convince people to hold off on this long anticipated rep is a slimly move IMO.

I take it that J said a bit more than what you have shown us then?! Thanks for the info, Andreww and everyone else... its nice to make an informed decision before pulling the trigger. This Super Rep along with the BCE are surely the best that we Breitling fans have had; and to be picky about the tiny details is like a slap in the face for all the hard work that the Makers have put into it. I was gonna get the Skyland anyway (even though I have a gen Chrono Avenger), and to be honest, the half lume dot isn't a deal breaker for me, as I know its a rep and I would never expect gen-like performance from it. EDIT: I have to add - this is still a FUN hobby.... isn't it?!! Edited July 16, 2008 by Importr

Is this really what this place has descended to these days? Dealer vs. dealer, pick your sides? Let's be straight here, it's hardly a "veiled rumour" from Angus is it? So what he's second the market, there's room for all, some prefer to buy from J&A, others from Angus. Why is it necessary to spew forth this type of post, stirring the pot Pugwash-style? I'm a little surprised and disappointed at this to be honest, we all love the Skyland so let's focus on that and the positives and negatives of the watch, and any comparisons when they arise. Less politics, more watch-talk I say
andreww Posted July 16, 2008 Report Posted July 16, 2008 "Hardly a veiled rumor"? What do we know about this watch? Nothing! but from Angus' creative writing "from the maker of", "Ultimate", etc, he is giving the impression that his version will be better. He is actually telling people not to buy the current version. IMO, that is just total BS. This watch may be good, it may not, but Angus has no right to try and sabotage J&As watch sales, when he has absolutely nothing to offer.

He is actually telling people not to buy the current version. IMO, that is just total BS. I find it also strange that Angus is saying 'from the maker of.... bla bla'. Like he owns one factory and J&A own the other one. Fact is that J&A also sell UBCEs, UHBB etc. so they have access to the same maker(s). No advantage or USP for Angus IMO. As soon as a supposedly 2nd version is out J&A will also offer it, no doubt. Maye we can order 'a whole lume dot' from the V2 as a upgrade LOL
alanytical Posted July 16, 2008 Report Posted July 16, 2008 (edited) I think that the exclusivity is what dealers want (or don't want). The EOD which was exclusive to one, is now brought out by others. The Skyland is exclusive right now and has to be brought out by another dealer to tap in on the sales while it is hot. Whoever gets to market first makes the bread during the initial buzz. Those that are slow to arrive get the crumbs. Edited July 16, 2008 by alanytical

docblackrock Posted July 16, 2008 Report Posted July 16, 2008 Mmmm, there's a graphite dial too....bracelet to follow too. Must resist.
Mickey Padge Posted July 16, 2008 Report Posted July 16, 2008 I think I will get the version from Angus, when it has the SS band, it does look better to me.....
Cucumber_Jones Posted July 17, 2008 Report Posted July 17, 2008 [censored] - just bought the SS graphite dial from angus. Damn I could not control myself.
vric Posted July 17, 2008 Report Posted July 17, 2008 (edited) Edit: Never mind. Just seen the pictures.. Please someone post a review before I spend my money Edited July 17, 2008 by vric
kioske Posted July 17, 2008 Report Posted July 17, 2008 wow. the second version is so stunning. im so glad i didn't jump gun and order the other one yet. LOL.
andreww Posted July 17, 2008 Report Posted July 17, 2008 Have to admit, Angus' version looks about perfect. Well done!
italiano17771 Posted July 17, 2008 Report Posted July 17, 2008 anybody else excited about a nice super avenger...finally!
