Blackbird Incoming

Hi ppl.pulled the trigger on a 2004 Breitling Blackbird..advertised as "unworn".
On pilots bracelet with straight baton markers.currently in transit.
Was looking for a while to compliment the collection.
1989 Rolex sub date,circa 2020 tag Heuer "Pepsi" GMT .also enjoy G-Shock analogue Frogman and G-Shock Mudmaster. Wanted a mechanical chronograph watch ,with at least an aviation theme.Whilst I believe the Blackbird isn't a genuine pilots watch,I'm still over the moon and can't wait to receive...Happy to be part of Breitling Club .

Congrats, welcome to the club! I know for me getting my first Breitling was an amazing feeling, the A13340 Blue Dial. I liked it so much I bought the same model with the Black dial and it gets the most wrist time out of all my watches.

I always loved the blackbird faceted bracelet. It's one of a kind. Great pick up.

It looks great! I recently picked one up with the brushed rouleaux bracelet but I ended up putting it on a brushed pilot bracelet and I think I prefer the pilot bracelet comfort-wise.
