Del 4,462 Posted April 14, 2011 Great looking watches and excellent photos. Congrats! Cheers mate I have the same one Del, on bracelet and the strap. IMHO I reckon the strap is as good as the gen on a friend of mine's Yeah, the strap is excellent - the black with white stitching really suits the watch. I didn't fancy the full polished s/s bracelet - too much bling . Bought mine today from Mary! Can't wait to get it! You'll love it Beautiful watch, Del! Enjoy!

Del 4,462 Posted May 10, 2011 Del very nice watch bro, congrats. How is the watch so far. you like it? BTW can anyone please tell me what's super avenger? Thank you. Wow, I thought this thread had already run its course! The watch has been great, no major problems so far :P. Runs a little slow, maybe 20s per day, but it looks amazing and remains a firm favourite! A Super Avenger is another model in the Aeromarine series and is even larger than the Skyland at 48mm versus 45mm. Have a look on the ReplicaMake website and you'll see some there.

P4GTR 0 Posted May 10, 2011 (edited) Nice Skyland, congrats. Great rep, one of my all time favorites. Date sits a wee bit high maybe, but that is just being anal. Your lume looks pretty good. The gen isn't a torcher anyway since they are just little dots of lume. Nevertheless, I had Zig do a relume when I sent him mine for servicing, and let me tell you, what a stunner. It's not too expensive to throw it in with a service. Some modders may do skylands/avengers a little less than they would a Pam, since so little lume is involved. Just throwing that out there for if/when the time comes. Edited May 10, 2011 by P4GTR Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Del 4,462 Posted May 10, 2011 @ P4GTR - yes, my date sits a wee bit high, more noticeable on the single digits, but it's a fairly minor complaint. Nice re-lume on your's! Who's Zig btw? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PeterWorcester 0 Posted May 10, 2011 Little introduction is needed for the Breitling Avenger Skyland v3 with Asian 7750 movement from WatchInternational - it is widely accepted as one of the best "out of the box" reps available. I've admired it for some time and finally took the plunge and ordered the grey dial version from Mary a few weeks ago, and boy am I glad I did - what a stunning watch! Rather than spec it with the polished s/s bracelet (which has a bit too much bling for me) I opted for the rep Breitling black leather strap with "friction fit" deployment clasp. I also puchased a rubber Diver Pro strap to give me another option for the future. As usual, the transaction with Mary was faultless (apart from intially receiving the wrong QC pics ) and the watch arrived in perfect condition in the usual white polystyrene box (which is such a good method of protecting a watch during transit imo). The watch operation has been spot on so far with no running issues whatsoever (it appears to be running slightly slow at the moment but I've not actually carried out any formal accuracy tests yet). The crystal (and AR) is incredibly clear (similar to my PAM288) and I hope some of the photos below will show you this. The infamous lume dots are all pretty much on the money and you'd need to look very closely to see some small imperfections so no complaints there. The lume itself is very good, not to Superluminova standards but certainly easily good enough not to warrant a re-lume. I'm not sure what else to add at this point except to say that I adore this watch and I hope you like my photos . Del, ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL, You are KILLING me, first the white face, then the yellow face, now this, I've never seen the gray dial but it is magnificent, so much nicer than the black dial. I have to say of all my rep watches my two SO's from Mary both keep absolutely perfect time, I only had to tweak one, one time and hey are both flawless now. I'm really interested in the 7750 chrono accuracy. Regardless, beautiful selection Del War in good health, you've got a GREAT eye for watches.

Del 4,462 Posted May 10, 2011 Uh-oh, I assumed you'd seen this one already Peter! Thanks for your kind words. (It runs about 20s slow per day, although I guess that could be regulated out.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
