Blackbird

[C. Davidson]

Im catching me the Blackbird bug. Sure looks purty.

Anyone know who makes the chronograph module for this caliber?

I used to own one, it REALLY is a nice watch! Looks great on all different straps and the steel bracelet, I had the steel Bracelet, and several different rubber straps, Unfortunatly I had to sell it :-(

Thanks for the input. Im thinking I'll start with the black croc strap, then maybe the gold croc, and then the brown, gold and black leather straps...assuming I do decide to get it.

Thanks for the 2 cents. Im liking the Blackbird because it comes in a all polished case version...like the Cockpit Chrono and the B01. I like the bezel better on the Blackbird over the B01's...and I like the size better than the 39mm Cockpit Chrono. Decisions, Decisions.

Ah, I see it's gotten you too huh?

Not sure if chronograph module is the same as the movement but the BB is based on the ETA 2892-A2 movement. While it may be a "stock" movement, it is apparently a well respected one.

It's a favorite of mine. You can see why...

The date window, and numbers on the bezel set it apart from the others. I really like this watch. I'm not too much for the watermelon crown, but it's comfortable. Good luck with it!

Speaking of the watermelon crown, how easy is it turn?

That's a handsome watch you got there my friend. It looks great with the black croc!
