Bet it's going to be a long day waiting. Breitling are great watches and it's always nice to see a fellow member get himself a new watch.

Thanks Ever34. I had a new one, but it was scammed from me (bought it originally from LaSwiss in TO) on a trade went bad.
http://www.rolexforums.com/showthrea...ht=temporarily I needed to find a replacement and the AD no longer have any as Breitling is discontinuing it and introducing the Skyland. The one I got is pre-loved < 1 month old bought from a grey dealer. I had no choice but to go this route. Still has a two year warranty from Jomashop (grey dealer). Best thing about it is that it still has the serial and markings intact, I saved $$.

It was delivered alright!
Wearing it now and making sure nothing's broken. I'll take the time to post photos (after my two yr old goes to bed). Took me some time to adjust the bracelet since it was off centered. When I picked it up from the PO, the lady at the counter already knows me (LOL) and she said you owe $108.40. I told her it isn't that bad. Customs did open the box but nothing's amiss. When I first opened, thought the watch was confiscated as it looks like it was just the pillow... you'll see later what I mean.

Here it is folks... finally took the time to photograph the darn thing.
The outerbox - looks different from my original Avenger box. The original one was ALL yellow, this one appears to be a little more artistic. Now the new bakelite box. The top box is more curved, comparing to my original box it was just a square box no curves. Better IMHO. Now this is where I had a momentary freak out. I thought the customs official played a nasty trick on me by confiscating the watch. As you can see it looks like its just the pillow and no watch! Now photos of the dial at an angle.. Closer look... Watch strapped on the pillow outside its travel pouch... The pro II bracelet - my original had a Pro I. Main difference is that Pro I has a dive extension while the Pro II does not. The Pro II looks massive. Shots of the crown and its pushers.. always love the look of it... Now, the obligatory wrist shot.. Finally its brothers joining in on the fun! Hope you enjoyed it... sorry it took so long to post photos!

Thank you all, I'm happy as a clam
I'm sure you've heard all of this already, but I'm done now. Two chronos and two dive watches, collection is complete.

Hi Aiya008,
It is light since the case and bracelet is made out of Titanium. The expected discount in Canada from an AD is between 23-25%. Some ADs more... however there are limited ADs in Toronto that carry Breitlings. I think in the US has higher % of ADs that can offer better discounts.

Well done Vernon
Let's hope the scumbag who caused your grief suffers from chronic internal atomic disruption.
