The 2010 Avanger (Skyland), where is the rep?

[makoberry]

I just visited an AD and saw the new Avenger (not called Skyland anymore). Just can't get it out of my mind. What a beautiful watch.

Any news about a rep? As far as I can tell it's just new dials.

It has always been called Skyland Avenger, it's that on the website they only call it Avenger. This rep has been out for years. I just ordered mine

not with batons dials and not in white...so yes I'm waiting too for the white one:lol:

 

[SMIDSY]

I had a slate one with numerals; its was lovely!

I'll buy another Skyland when they rep the blk baton dial with white sub dials version!!!

OK, challenge has been set for the factories... on your marks, get set, go! (who will do it first?)

 

[SMIDSY]

Ill buy a skyland when the V4 without the crappy lume dots comes out =)

 

[QinetiQ]

There won't be a V4. The lume dots will be a problem on all versions. It just takes too much time to make them right and factories don't give a crap. Why wait for something that might never come out when you can just buy a V2 and send it for relume?

Not the same. The 2010 model has polished hands/numerals and (I think) a new bezel with sharper edges. The "tungsten gray" is also lighter and more metallic looking.

Just get a V2 and live with it. I've done that and no regrets whatsoever. Lume dots look pretty alright on mine. Guess I must be lucky, or short sighted.

 

[SMIDSY]

I would have frankened one but couldn't find the gen dial..... V2 is very very good. but I preferred the V3..... but if I were to re-lume id go for a V2

I was at the AD and tried that tungsten gray Skyland and the hand's ARE NOT polished, they only appear to in the picture. They are the normal hands the that tungsten gray has been the same gray as always. No difference whatsoever. There's no new Skyland OR the dealer wasn't aware and told me that what I tried was the latest thing they got

Its actually the same watch, its just that Breitling have dropped the Skyland off it and it is now simply called the "Avenger", which I think sounds cooler anyway.

"The Avenger Skyland was renamed to Avenger in 2010 and will no longer bear the Avenger Skyland namesake."

Relume may make it brighter, but it won't fix the crappy glop of a lume dot.

I'm a fan of the new 2010 dials, however I wish they went with raised wings instead of the painted ones on the dial - more like the SA.

How about removing the dots and making new ones? Wouldn't that work?

Agree with you on that one mate

Im pretty sure the 2010 had polished markers/numerals and hands. The gray is also lighter, or at least appeared so in the stand.

 

[notloc08]

I was just in my local AD yesterday and there are new versions. They have polished numerals and polished hands. They also have new versions with batons and different colors. They are also just calling it the skyland to distinguish it apart from the old skyland avanger which had white numerals.

So.... Any new reps....?
