Up for sale or trade is my Breitling Skyracer Chronograph. This model was originally purchased in Geneva, Switzerland in 2007, and acquired by myself from a respected Forum Sponsor. The Skyracer is a 43mm case size and although a dominant presence on the wrist, it is not as thick and chunky as the 45mm Avenger chronos, making it ideal for both bigger and smaller wrists. It features a stunning cut Starburst dial that is just gorgeous craftsmanship and a high polish case and OEM bracelet against a brushed steel bezel to offset its showiness to create just the right balance of bling and class. The case and bracelet show minimal signs of wear with just the slightest of swirlies on the high polish finish that can only be seen mainly in high light. No dings, fleabites or dents. Crystal is pristine with a cool AR coating. The only notable on this piece is that the bezel does not turn. Likely needs a new bezel spring, if you even care whether it turns or not. Keeps awesome time and the chronograph pushers work as they should. I did notice the hands reset to 12, but with the red pointer hand resetting so ever slightly 1 second past 12. Comes with original box and papers showing a little rough in condition, particularly with the internal leather holder case, but all original to the watch and an easy replace if you desire a newer one, as they are not unique to a specific watch.

Trades desired but not limited to:

Breitling Aerospace Evo Night Mission in mint condition on its original olive canvas strap
Breitling Aerospace Evo black dial
Breitling Avenger 45 (preferably the dark steel versions)
Breitling Avenger Seawolf II steel in either yellow or black number dial
Breitling Blackbird dark steel recent version

I am not looking to add a large cash sum on a trade.

Sale price set at reasonable $3,450 OBO.

Cheers,

Nuno

I've come to find a new appreciation for the versatility of Breitlings. The Aerospace has a special place in my heart as it was the first watch I ever drooled over in the bright and blingy windows of La Swiss Yorkdale when I was 16. Man was that ever a long time ago ��

Strong preference for Seawolf II yellow number dials! No need to be on steel either. Head only is fine by me as long as mint. Trade up your base dial for a chrono on steel with box and papers!

Let's try one more time at $3k before withdrawal. Cheapest Breitling chrono on OEM steel professional bracelet anywhere. Doesn't get any better. Trades preferred. Offer up before it's gone!
