I just did review on the SA. I described it as 'Stupid Big'. The watch definitely needs to fit the wearer.

Yeah. That seriously ruined the clock. Anyhow it glows now:

But... I am thinking to redo the whole dial and hands :)

Ok. Back on topic,
I think the dial marking still needs to be fixed. It should be 60 instead of 80 at the correct position.

More observation on v2 Avenger Skyland.

The pole of minute and hour hands have to match the colour of the dial. Based on current "stock" pictures, the blue doesn't look right and the grey comes with black coloured pole. Hope they will be fixed on the actual product (yes, Angus said about this!).

Next is the lume dots... On the genuine there is not white space visible. The whole white background underneath the lume dots are lumed. On v2 AS, there is still small unlumed white background on the lume dots.

Apart from that, the watch looks really spot on!

I just find it amazing how the Asian craftsmen get it done with such a detailed finish thinking Breitlings people do visually on the watch not so much better. The quality now is absolutely super on the reps coming out and yes we demand nothing less now. I would love to see where and how these watches are created.

I also could not resist to order a Skyland 2nd edition myself and boy I thank GOD I waited a couple of days after last weeks anouncement of the new Skyland.

I recieved my v1 and it is very nice. In fact, with PC (Josh) being the good guy he is, I still may come out of this whole v1/v2 chaos a happy customer.

I will say, that I am not un happy, ultimately it si my issue. I pulled the trigger....I typically find Josh to have more customer service skills than any department store here in the states. I was shocked at first, me being from the land of department stores and strip malls that surely this person that is half way around the world would care less about a broken watch or my unhappiness. Josh time and time again has come through for me. I have had only one issue with a watch he sent me. He fixed it, without question.....6 months after I bought it.

I know, I know, this isnt a Praise Josh thread.....but with all these new developments, I trust he will do what he can.

Thanks to forum members, you guys have more heart and knowledge then most of the people wearing the genuines.

What dealer NOT in the cartel has this version or were they muscled and cut off?

I like a choice. Call me crazy but it's the American way

excellent post davey boyo

but why no profanity as you are now using everywhere.. threatening to go back to the geek club,

insulting the forum itself?

surely you can step up to the plate with your true colors...

and love for josh? not a bad thing.. strange though that his praises are sung by you at the drop of a hat,

in spite of his highest of all prices..

maybe is the seven trucks in ontario, cleaning ducks that does the trick..

and that trick shows your cartel loyalty.. not a bad thing.. just kind of strange..

:D

Josh is the man. I dont know is there is a cartel or not. I am sure there is to a degree....If there is, there is....either way....the person who says he is Josh- has come through. Until all this gets sorted with the V2, I am going to believe he will come through for me. Ill keep you guys updated.

I still Love the v1 Skyland and SFSO I received. PerfectClones comes through.

What is bad if there is a Cartel? Its funny if its an ethical objection, us being the purveyor of fine counterfeited goods. :D

You are assuming that I haven't ready addressed that with Josh, and if in fact Josh has not answered me. He has, and he says he will make it right. SO for now, I believe he will. We will see.

i am assuming he has done to you the same thing he has done to all the other early customers of this watch. i know what he has done and i know what he is doing now. even if he is sending you one with the correct dial you have still over paid. :?
