Is the "B" always in the same place? Mine is between 11 and 12 o'clock. I assume it is....just wonder about other models?

The laser etched Breitling B is always at 57 minutes on models with flat sided bezels. It used to be a good way to identify fakes, but I have heard that there are fakes with this feature now.

What a stunning watch....

It would also look great in a brown leather strap!

I have placed the same watch on the side for my husband. I am paying it off slowly and giving it to him for Valentines Day. I am a little nervous because it is a new model. I hope it does well. Wear it in good health.

That Skyland really is an amazing looking watch. The slate-grey dial is my favourite. The machining on the subdials gives it great effects in various lighting conditions, almost makes dial and subdials look like two different shades. I kind of wish they had gone with a brushed or brushed/polished combo like the Steelfish. I am thinking of getting a Skyland later on, with the grey dial, and quite possibly the Diver Pro rubber strap.
I know you'll enjoy the watch! Try to keep track of how many times a day you catch yourself admiring it.
Cheers,
Carl

Never even noticed the small "B" until mentioned in this thread. My Steelfish has it at 57 min. Also my SuperOcean which I have had for over 10 years, has one at the same place. Imagine having that watch for 10 years, wearing it every single day, and cleaning it and admiring it, never even noticing the small "B"!
Cheers,
Carl

it looks like more people own a skyland now a days. i was at the japanese restaurant yesterday and the guy next to me was wearing one, i felt like asking him about it but when i finish eating he told me that i got an outstanding watch. i was reluctant to reply so i just smiled at him. today i went to a local dealer trying to get a croc strap with a deployment buckle to give my watch a different looks. anyway, it's good to know that everybody appreciate the beauty of a skyland as i appreciate them.
