[jhowton]

I bought this about a week ago and am trying it on a Crocodile strap for a little while.

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

Great photos! I really like that color croc on a black dial!

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

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.:thumbsup:

Great pics... The strap definitely works with this one. :thumbsup:

Congrat-s FRND!

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:cheers:

congrat jhowton! I tried this watch at the AD and it's stunning.
Nice photography as well!

Nice photos :thumbsups:

They are titanium, aren't they?

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

Thanks, I am not a fan of rubber watch straps in general but I might pick up a Black Crocodile strap, I think that would look pretty good too.

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! :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::cheers:

From one Breitling fan to another, congrats! Love the big date on that Blackbird. Wear it in good health!

I am not a big Bretling fan, but that is one of my favorite Breitling models. Congrats.

sweet looking watch,i like the croc better than the stainless.

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

Well gee Dan, you're making me blush, thanks for the kind words. I don't have a DJ at all, but they are definitely on my list. I am still thinking that a GMT IIc will be my next Rollie, I was fondling a TT model at the AD last weekend and I do really like it a lot.

Regards

Jamie

I like the croc on it better than the bracelet.:thumbsup:

Also, you can't go wrong with the new TT GMTIIc. :cheers: It's the best. Just watch out what else you fondle.:chuckle:
