Hi all,

I have been a long time admirer of Breitling. I'm sure you'll agree that there is something captivating about them. I also have a fascination with clocks and precision timepieces.

On a recent trip to NYC I saw an Avenger Skyland that I simply couldn't walk past. Needless to say it now sits happily on my wrist. I've posted a photo if you're interested. Somehow I don't think this will be my last.

It's great to be amongst so many people that obviously enjoy these watches. I have found your advice in this forum very useful indeed. In fact, I've just ordered an Orbita Sparta based on your comments.

I look forward to joining you.

Martin

Thanks for the welcome Sherlock. We're practically neighbours. I'm in Berkshire.

Ah right thats close then.

Is the skyland the limited edition one? With the black case and rubber strap? Thats a top watch.

No it's not. Mine has a blue face and steel bracelet. You can take a peek at it in the Gallery

I must admit I like the limited edition too - although I've yet to actually sight one.

Welcome from a fellow Brit, only just joined myself, just before finding myself on a flight to Afgan.

Hot hot and very hot, anybody who is interested i decided to stick with my Colt on the dvr pro strap. and she is doing very well.

Wish i had found a well priced Seawolf TI before I left. but not to worry.

Hope you are all finding the UK wet weather a treat. as for me its still mid high 30s over here.

Got a good tan however.
