Breitling Avenger Skyland "Black Steel"

I have been thinking about this watch for some time now and wanted to know your guys thoughts, since you are all such amazing collectors I thought I would ask the pros .

I have not seen the watch in person so I hoped maybe one of you have seen it or actually own it and can give me your thoughts. Below is a photo of it.
I am going to try on the regular Avenger Skyland at my local AD later today to see how i like the size. My largest watch I currently own is 43mm so I might be able to pull off the 45mm with no problem.

I will post a new thread later today with my current collection. What a great site and what great members!

Thanks,
Dro

I was just inquiring about Avengers this weekend.... I was told that particular one is going to be a MAJOR bitch to get a hold of. I will probably just stick to the titanium one. Good luck with your search!

I know of one BNIB if anyone is interested. Don't want to post it publicly since it's not from a board sponsor.

Keep an eye on Timezone, they pop up on there weekly. They are not going to hold their value for long. I love the watch but just couldn't justify the $4700 price tag. For that price you could get a nice used Pan or IWC or Rolex or many others. I looked at one here at my local AD and passed on it. I will have one some day but used and not for retail.

Why wouldn't it hold its value for long? Its a limited edition breitling that is pretty difficult to find BNIB so it seems to be the contrary.
$4,700 sounds like the retail price for the regular stainless version, the Blacksteel version is a little more
