mastmampf Posted March 21, 2009 Report Posted March 21, 2009 Hello, So i also ordered one of Honts Breitling Avenger Skyland Blacksteel he is actual offering for only 280$. I received the watch yesterday (DHL to Germany), only one day after Hont emailed me the tracking number. But i think i have compared too much between the V1, V2 and V3 models. Now i don`t know anymore if i really have the DLC or maybe it is only a PVD coated model? How can i be sure that i got the right one (without scratching the case!)? Here are some quick shots. So what do you guys think? Greetz from Germany Matz
b16a2 Posted March 21, 2009 Report Posted March 21, 2009 Yes that's the best V2 version. The DLC is much lighter than the PVD on the V1/V3, and the pearl is a different shape too. Wear it well it's a stunning watch!
mastmampf Posted March 21, 2009 Author Report Posted March 21, 2009 Thanks a lot b16a2. That`s all i wanted to know. I just had to open the watch because there was some dust on the inside of the crystal but now everything`s fine. Greetz Matz
mastmampf Posted March 21, 2009 Author Report Posted March 21, 2009 BTW I have just tried to scratch the case at the back with a sharp tweezers: it does not worked
its_urabus Posted March 21, 2009 Report Posted March 21, 2009 that looks great. Damn you rotten economy.
mastmampf Posted March 21, 2009 Author Report Posted March 21, 2009 I just installed a strap i found in my drawer. I bought it here: http://www.watch-band-center.com/watchstra...-Jena-22mm.html Think it is a cheap but nice alternative. Greetz Matz
concepta Posted March 21, 2009 Report Posted March 21, 2009 So whats the difference between V2 and V3???
turbox7 Posted March 21, 2009 Report Posted March 21, 2009 It's good to know it's the V2 - I just ordered one from Hont yesterday Awesome band Mastmampf - wear it well! What is the size of the strap? I hear 24mm, but your link is 22mm? I need to shop for a new strap for mine while I wait for delivery
b16a2 Posted March 21, 2009 Report Posted March 21, 2009 So whats the difference between V2 and V3??? Pearl surrounds are different, the chrono pushers were too long on the V1 (not sure if they still are) and the V3 uses PVD instead of DLC like the V2, so the V3 is far too dark in comparison to the genuine. What is the size of the strap? I hear 24mm, but your link is 22mm? I need to shop for a new strap for mine while I wait for delivery The Skylands are all 22mm at the lugs. The Super Avengers are 24mm.
Ronin Posted March 21, 2009 Report Posted March 21, 2009 Nice. I enjoy mine as well. Red & Black straps are fantastic on this watch. The only Breit's with 24mm lugs are the Super Avenger (SA), SOH, and Bentley models IIRC. -Ronin
Nebakanezzar Posted March 22, 2009 Report Posted March 22, 2009 Wow! Nice! cant wait for mine to get here from Hont!
hackR Posted March 22, 2009 Report Posted March 22, 2009 and your lume dots look good...looks like only #1 is slightly off-centered...slightly...hardly noticeable, i think, from a distance... Hont showed me 4 watches to choose from...all had 1-2 lume dots off-centered... i eventually selected one with only 1 lume dot off-centered...the #1 spot...for some reason, most of the ones i was shown have #1 lume dot off-centered... BS #695 on its way to the good ole USA...
h2000 Posted March 23, 2009 Report Posted March 23, 2009 yeah..def v2...ugh..awesome lume dots as well..i had to ship my BS off to The Zigmeister to fix up..congrats on the new purchase!..
Toadtorrent Posted March 23, 2009 Report Posted March 23, 2009 It's good to know it's the V2 - I just ordered one from Hont yesterday I think the easiest confirmation is that the bezel number printing is closer to the edge on the V2 than the V1/V3. You have the V2.
strattakan Posted March 23, 2009 Report Posted March 23, 2009 Nice lumedots! (for an avenger, anyway)
