hey guys,

I love the minimalistic look of blackbird, its dark bezel and face, the arrows and colors. Here is the one i have in my mind, found a pic on reddit:

But .... I'd love to get a version with numbers. Is there something like that?

I found avenger gmt 45mm night mission that looks like blackbird but with numbers but I cannot find anything similar.

the closest one as far as colors and everything was some kind of Hong Kong edition but not sure if this is a fantasy rep? found a pic on the web

Nobody is making this exact model. Here is a link to the closest version. This is a GF watch. This is one of the few Brietlngs I didn't buy because the case is plastic.

thanks I was looking at this watch too, looks bad ass but $520 is a tough sell. Hard to justify for me since I can get a blackbird or seawolf for around 320. any idea why is it so much more expensive?

good point about plastic. It will probably feel odd on your hand and weight is not proportional to the size.

BTW my wrist is 7.5 and my Pam1312 44mm/15mm with a strap weighs about 150gr. Do you think I can pull 45mm/18mm Seawolf and it will not look ridiculous on my wrist?

My wrist is 6.75" and my fav watches are 44mm. I also have a Rep and Gen Super Avenger at 48mm. I don't worry about what people think. I just wear what I like.
GF commands a higher price in general because they make better Reps. My own opinion is if I wanted a plastic watch I would buy a Casio or Swatch..

Take a look at the Breitling Bandit by GF. It is Titanium so the weight is lower. It is 44 mm. I have one as a "Beater" for weekends when I don't care watch happens.

The Hong Kong edition is a Seawolf. The numbers are lumed. The case is 45mm x 18mm.

I also found this blackbird with "Special Delivery" on the back and carbon fiber face. Saw the same watch on a few TDs sites.

Just wanted to post a link for you of this watch. But you found it already. I think it’s pretty cool! But I prefer the thicker seawolf. As I already have a blackbird.
Would really like to see how the dial is in real life.

if you like minimalistic black breitlings; check out this one: https://www.intime05.co/breitling/5...-black-dial-on-black-leather-strap-a2824.html

The Seawolf wears very differently compared to the Blackbird.
Personally i much prefer the seawolf on the wrist compared to the Blackbird.

After much thought, decided to go with the gf blackbird. It was a tough decision for sure
