LordRasta Posted October 1, 2008 Report Posted October 1, 2008 I don't expect everyone to agree with me, but the Skyland is my "super" rep of the year. Those who know me know I have some insane watches, there is some type of mod done to every single one of them, some more than others. Naturally I leave the beaters as is and treat them like they are, beaters. I acquired this piece from BROM and I cannot see myself doing a single mod to it. It has the best double AR out of the factory, the lume dot at 3 is better than V1. I know some think the bezel and perhaps dial is better on the first version and that may very well be accurate but my definition of a super rep is one that I will unwrap and wear with no modifications. Without further ado, my rep of the year.....pic courtesy of BROM.
coolfire Posted October 1, 2008 Report Posted October 1, 2008 Couldn't agree more with you, dude! I have one too! Beautiful pic of a beautiful watch...
mwee Posted October 1, 2008 Report Posted October 1, 2008 never a big fan of breitlings but your picture sure makes it a beautiful watch! Great Pic!
jkirke Posted October 1, 2008 Report Posted October 1, 2008 I might have to agree bro. it is the best outta the box rep i've EVER owned. cheers
unkindone Posted October 1, 2008 Report Posted October 1, 2008 very beautiful! check your pm are the wings stamped on the SA?
poopypants Posted October 1, 2008 Report Posted October 1, 2008 Mine is getting lumed just like the gen right now; nice and flat, so it should be the BEST, SUPER, ULTIMATE of the ULTIMATE of SUPER REPS... <- ya!
dluddy Posted October 1, 2008 Report Posted October 1, 2008 Don't have one but I tried on Vlydog's and I agree, it is up there in the Best of the Year category....
LordRasta Posted October 1, 2008 Author Report Posted October 1, 2008 I've not got one ... yet. What color do you want Pug? It's on me. http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showto...&hl=skyland You want SS or rubber?
Pugwash Posted October 1, 2008 Report Posted October 1, 2008 What color do you want Pug? It's on me. :o :o :o
dvn Posted October 1, 2008 Report Posted October 1, 2008 I too agreed but i looks much better on the ocean racer rubber strap then on the SS bracelet. Too bad they don't rep the 22mm ocean racer rubber strap.

geestyleed Posted October 1, 2008 Report Posted October 1, 2008 For sure one of the best Reps this year. But some other Breitling are very good, too. Like BCE, SOSF or Blackbird. Ain't they?

Shundi Posted October 1, 2008 Report Posted October 1, 2008 Oh boy...beautiful watch...I'm gonna need to pick one up soon!
Sweattdogg Posted October 1, 2008 Report Posted October 1, 2008 I agree. This rep is great out the box!
promotersf Posted October 2, 2008 Report Posted October 2, 2008 LR is right, this is one of the best reps straight out of the box. I have the black dial Gen Skyland, so I picked up the Grey which I gave to a friend of mine who was having a tough time...then immediately ordered another grey from Angus. I loved my BCE swiss 770 w/lello DW, but I gave that to a buddy of mine, still have my SFSO white relumed by The Zigmeister...but the Skyland is up there in terms of quality. dave

HauteHippie Posted October 2, 2008 Report Posted October 2, 2008 Great looking watch! Wear it well LR!
putra Posted October 2, 2008 Report Posted October 2, 2008 really agree with you!!.. i own my skyland avenger but i change the bracelet with croco leather.
By-Tor Posted October 2, 2008 Report Posted October 2, 2008 That's a great rep for sure... and definitely one of the top-10 reps ever. Enjoy LR!
yaron Posted October 5, 2008 Report Posted October 5, 2008 I too agreed but i looks much better on the ocean racer rubber strap then on the SS bracelet. Too bad they don't rep the 22mm ocean racer rubber strap. Asked Josh about the 22/20 ocean racer strap, his reply that "it should be on the making", so there is some hope. This strap may be a good solution for those who don't enjoy too heavy watches (with SSB) and don't manage with leather straps and tang buckles (like myself).
unkindone Posted October 5, 2008 Report Posted October 5, 2008 Can someone post a gray dial and black dial side by side to compare?? by the way...is the Skyland the only Breitling to have stamped wings ? just curious
