The Breitling Watch Source Forums

Well I must first apologize for the crappy pics. I saw this watch back in Sept 2007, made a deposit at an AD - popular chain in the U.S.,(starts with a "T") with poor results. They never called, didn't seem too motivated to answer my questions etc. I spoke with the sale's rep on three occasions and he didn't remember me. Very poor service. I was beginning to lose faith in getting one. So what did I do? I found a Chrono Avenger....it satisfied me for the time being.

I then did my homework and ended up at Feldmar, 9000 W. Pico Blvd in Los Angeles on Nov. 12, 2007, told them what I wanted, they assured me they were getting 1 and that I was good to go. I put a deposit (remember I still have a deposit with the "T" company) So last week I get the call...."your watch is in." I couldn't believe it. The next day (I kid you not), I received a copy of my receipt stating a reverse debit on my credit card from the "T" company stating, I have a refund, unable to secure watch.

So I did what anyone possessed would do, I drove 3 hours to LA today, and picked up my Avenger Skyland Black Steel Limited Edition that I thought I would never own. I feel like a little kid!!!! Feldmar staff were the best. From this day forward I will give them all the action!!! Completely professional, honest, and friendly. I would recommend them to anyone. I know I haven't posted much on here, but hopefully this will up my "STREET CRED'S" in the Breitling world.

It must be a sickness...HAHA

Hi grats on the Blacksteel, I like the watch very much!

Thanks Kurt.....mine is #972.

Congratulations! I am very glad you were finally able to get one. I purchased mine last week, from my local AD Time & Gold here in Vancouver. I was a lot luckier in that mine was easier to find. I happened to go past the AD and look in the window a couple of weeks ago, and there it was just sitting there! I had only just bought a Steelfish a couple of weeks earlier, but when I saw the Blacksteel and tried it on, and did some research in this forum, I realized I had to have it.
This is the most fantastic watch I have owned! The thing is so rugged, and is a delight to behold. Today is my one-week anniversary. I like everything about this watch. To me, the diver pro rubber strap is the perfect match. The watch is very comfortable. It has barely lost or gained a second in the entire week. I test it against my computer time every day, and it is bang on! I too felt like a kid when I got mine - a 58-year-old kid! I was going to wait till my 60th birthday, and get a Blackbird. When I saw this watch, I knew that it wouldn't be around in a couple of years, and it did appeal to me more than the Blackbird, or any other Breitling (I also looked at a Bentley 6.75). This is the one for me!
I am sure you will enjoy it as much as I am. Congrats again!
Cheers,
Carl

Nice pic and a great pick up! Sweet story - glad you found an AD more trustworthy and that you got your initial deposit back!

If someone's still interested, my AD have two Blacksteels left...

The pictures looked fine to me! I don't think there is any such thing as crappy pics of LING!

I must say, with all the recent posts post & pics of Avenger Skylands here recently, I am leaning towards this as my next purchase. . . . .hmmm Navitimer or Skyland Avenger. . . . .decisions decisions!

hello aleister and broncosport....PM sent regarding the price....i feel odd posting what I paid for it....can anyone advise on the protocol on posting prices online...for me....i feel kind of weird about it...thanks guys.

Thanks for the PM. I'm not looking to buy one (if so, I'd pick one of my AD's two...) but I know others are - that's why I said I see two (still) at my AD. I feel this forum is very open when it comes to prices. No one will blame you for making a good deal, or revealing what you got it for.
