Which Breitling rep....?

[Bobcat]

Afternoon Gents,

I hope you're all well. Please excuse me if any of the questions I ask have been asked time and time again, I've had a trawl through previous posts and have managed to answer a number of questions already but I'm looking for a bit of guidance on a few points.

I've always liked Breitling watches and if I had the necessary funds I'd purchase a number of them! But alas, as I'm not rolling the cash I've made the decision to purchase a replica watch after seeing one that a friend of mine purchased from the tinterweb. If I were able to purchase a genuine Breitling it would be one of the following models:

Super Avenger
Skyland Avenger
Steelfish Superocean x-plus

I understand that all 3 of these models have both very good and very bad replicas made in their likeness. Which in your opinion of the above 3 have been copied with the most likeness to the original? I'd be happy with any of the above timepieces but obviously like the rep to be as close to the original as possible. Obviously cost will come into the equation but I'm happy to spend the money on a particular model if its of a good quality. Many thanks in advance for your guidance!

I love the Steelfish, but its out of production now.. I own a Skyland Avenger and its becoming a daily wearer for me. The Super Avenger just seemed a little to big for my wrist. All are great reps, most any TD can get you a Skyland or SA.

All three are great watches and there are great reps available (I have a Steelfish and a Skyland) but I'd recommend the Skyland v3 - it's a cracking rep!

Here's mine on an Ocean Racer strap:-

there are QC pics of my code yellow avenger in another thread in this forum. it will give you an idea of the avengers out there.

I have the Skyland Avenger and love it. Good luck on your search..

If you like big, big watches, get the Super Avenger. They are massive though, bro I think the Skyland is probably the best choice for most guys though. Go for it, except maybe the Steelfish, they are pretty hard to find these days in their best version...

I have 5 Breitling and the one I like the most is the Super Avenger so thats my pick.

 

[Bobcat]

Had a little look at Toros steelfish, it does look quite smart!

 

[Lenny]

I have 2 steelfishes and 1 super avenger.

Wear the steelfish quite a lot for my daily beater, super avenger I've had sicne Xmas and I wear it on the odd day off - it is massive but I still think it's an awesome watch.

I would recommend the skyland or the steelfish though so you get the most use out of them.

Skyland v3 as dell says is a might fine watch!!

Considered the B01? My first Rep ever!! and it again is a fantastic out of the box version.

 

[Bobcat]

I like the look of the B01 but hearing the praise for the v3 skyland I'm swaying towards that over other models. This is my first rep so I'm keen to get it right! Anyone got any pics of the v3 skyland avenger? Also, anyone know if any of the dealers are currently selling them?

Cheers in advance!

I did read your post fella, unfortunately I was reading it on my phone and the picture wasn't there. After revisiting the forum on my iPad I can now see your rep. Very tidy.
