I think both the "Croc" and the stainless steel look real good with this watch.

Wow, I've never been a Breitling fan. But, that is one sharp looking watch, especially on the strap

Well, the strap makes the watch. Your Breitling isteriffic on the steel band, but that croc really makes it sing. Great watch, great combo! Larry.

They are titanium, aren't they? The Blackbird bracelet is the most beautiful among Breightlings IMO! Can't get enough of that sharped bracelet link edges! Great photos by the way ![]() |

They are Stainless Steel, brushed on top surfaces and polished on the sides and back except for the bracelet which is brushed all over.

Gorgeous! The Blackbird is one of my all time favorite Breitling models. Personally, I would love the croco strap in black for this specific dial face color (Black/Grey). However, the brown croco watch strap offers such a nice custom hand-finished appearance that is very attractive in an exotic skin watch band. Enjoy!

Great looking croc strap on a gorgeous Breitling!
I love the lume shots! Rolex could learn a lot from Breitling and Omega.

Jamie: you are an impressive guy and watch collector. Congratulations on a beautiful watch...I have an old Superocean, black dial, and its pretty, but not as pretty as the one you just purchased. BTW, have a DJ you want to sell?
best, Dan |
