Traded my omega po for a skyland avenger today... Couldn't be happier!
I had the opportunity to trade my Omega PO for a near mint Breitling Skyland Avenger 45mm today.... and I'm so glad I did!
I purchased my Omega PO 45.5mm Orange bezel when the watch was first released about 10 years ago. It was just one of those watches that spoke to me when I tried it on. But as time went on I wore it less. Maybe it was because the orange bezel didn't really fit my work attire. So I came across a local dealer selling a pre-owned Avenger and worked out a straight across trade. I think I the better end of the deal for sure. My PO retailed for $3300 when I purchased it and the Avenger was $5000. Today the PO sells online around $2000 and the Avenger sells for $2700. My first Breitling! Hopefully not my last!

It's been over a month and honestly I am very happy with my decision. After 10+ years of ownership I was over the orange bezel. I removed the S/S bracelet on the Breitling and purchased several new leather straps that I swap to match my attire. I still own a Omega SMP as well as a few others. The PO just never made it in my rotation. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The Breitling will be more versatile and it’s WR will do everything your last PO would do.
