Hi every one, I am new here.

I have recently fallen in love with this Breitling watch that I found on the Official Breitling web site. Its the Super Avenger Black Steel Limited edition. http://www.breitling.com/super-avenger- ... on_en.html

I told myself I gotta get one of this sexy baby so I started googling up for replicas of this watch. However no hope :( .
But then the other day I accidently found this Avenger Skyland Black steel! Its a very beautiful watch, but I cant find it any where in the official Breitling Web site.

I thought Breitling only makes Super Avenger in Black steel, and its said to only have a limited 3000.

What is this Avenger Skyland black steel? It only has a limited of 2000. It does look different to the Super Avenger Black Steel (eg the brezel) Is it something that replica manufacturers made up? Does Breitling really have this watch?
I am really confused:S. Can you watch professionals please explain to me :D

Welcome. Good first question. I've tried on the genuine Super Avenger Blacksteel and found it beautiful but way too big. I own a fake Skyland Blacksteel and love it. Breitling makes both models.

Another good question... Seems like I remember a rumor that the Super Avenger Blacksteel was coming out. I don't believe I've seen it though. I can't think why they couldn't make it. Man, its big though.

Black Steel Super Avenger was announced from the HBB maker for delivery in February this year. End of February it was announced from a dealer that they have problems and are delaying it to June, so we should hear something soon.

The gen Avenger Black steel is a limited edition and it was sold out in the first year when it was announced. I think it was announced Sept 2007...anyhow, it was sold out in Maerch 2008.

It is a great watch, if you wnat to get one, take the v2 version. The price already dropped, you can get this now for 280 USD

Some eyecandy to make you .......

Mark, as Boss already pointed out, a Hkatan strap.
I had this watch on my wrist when I visited Basel World this year and the guy a the Breitling booth wanted to see the strap.
He looked at it for a minute and put the watch on hir wrist and asked me, from hom I got it....that was fun. :D :D
His last comment was, which number did you get? :? :?

I was glad when I had my watch back. :D :D :D :D

Wow Thanks alot Guru, now I am definately geting one. Thats a beautiful watch you make me very jealous, and the strap I totally love it.
Have you ever tried swimming with the watch? or take it in to the shower?
Is the water resistance any good?
I emailed Hont and he said he isnt sure about it.
And also how is the accuracy of the time?

Wow thanks for the link doctorron.
If you check the pictures out closely, they taged it wrong, it is actually a replica of the "Super avenger black steel" no the "Avenger skyland black steel". This is what we've been trying to find!

However this is a PVD coating version though. Dont know if they have a version 2?

and also I've been emailing questions to watch eden for days and I havent got a reply yet, wonder if that is usually the case :roll:

Hont is your best choice.You need to bring your watch to a watchmaker, they can test it if it is waterproofed.
If it is not, at least they can work on it to do so.
Regarding the accuracy, I have all my watches running in COSC spec, which means they are around +2 sec / day
