Congrats, that's a fine looking piece!
Cheers,
Daddel.
Went to meet Orange Peel(Neil) last sunday 13th to pick up my new Blackbird.
Took a few days to get the feel of the watch and which strap to wear it on.
After 4 or 5 strap changes iam more than happy with it on non breitling croc strap.
Heres a few pics with a digital camera my son has given me,hopefully my pics have improved!!!
Have a good evening all.

Got a new watch, divers watch it is, had to drown the bastard to get it!
Nice, I am having a hard time liking breitlings bling bling models, but this one is more "calm" but at the same time phat , pics are clear and good, eventgough the first pic looks like the dial is blur due to the reflections.
The pics look fine & the watch is superb :D
Like the pic of the watch in a bush :D

I like that one A LOT :drunken:

I think the BB is one of Breitlings best models

Would be interesting to know how you think it compares with the Crosswind LE
Cheers

Very nice - you could perhaps form a a club of Ex-Orange Peel Blackbird owners. Another lovely watch supplied by Neil to the happy members here at TZ. :wink:
Hi Steve,Originally Posted by Cookie
As you know i have had a crosswind le.
I feel the BB is chunkier giving more presence on the wrist than the LE.
With Le it was more a bracelet issue why i flipped it.
With the BB ive tried one on a bracelet and wont be rushing to buy one.

Colin. Out of interest did you have the Crosswind Special with 3 sub-dials or CWSLE with the 2 sub-dials?Hi Steve,

Very nice, congratulations. I've owned two of these in the past and they are my favourite Breitlings by far, looks best on the Ocean Racer IMHO.
If I had the money I would really like to give the Blacksteel version of this watch a try. 8)
Beautiful watch ! Is also on my wish-list !
Great photos, and a great looking watch.
A Bretiling of some description is definitely going to have to be my first 'big' purchase I think!
