Blackbird rep...

[Importr]

...anyone bought one yet?

If so, please report!

Cosmetically and at a glance, they look very accurate(?) So now I am tempted to buy one!

I've noticed that alot of dealers that are offering them have off centred pearls.. (they are stamped too far to the right)..

It may be a consistant flaw with the model.. which would be a shame...

I handled a Gen at an AD last week and I'd say just from looking at the rep it's pretty much spot on as long as the date wheels aren't crazy recessed... the gen date wheels are snug with the bottom of the dial..

Waiting for bracelet to come out

Well... The modded Asian 7750 with second at 3 is still a new movement. Subdial spacing may not be exact, as the real deal is using 2894-2 movement with chrono module. Perhaps anyone can confirm this?

I am about to order one but I am concerned with the pearl location... still who has the cheapest? pls someone advise.

The husband is very interested in the Blackbird, but wants the SS bracelet. Has anyone purchased one and changed out the strap? His birthday is coming up....

the bracelet version should be out within 2 weeks. little bit different then the bce.

Hi guys.
New to this forum, this is my first post!

I've got a blackbird three days ago from Joshua, black leather strap. Going to order the leather strap when it comes out - about three weeks.
I was concerned about the pearl, but mine is pretty much spot on. I'll post pics as soon as I can.
It seems like a beaut example - can't find much wrong with it, but then I'm new to the world of reps.

I've got a gen Colt, again, I'll post pics, which I love, so I'm fairly used to expecting perfection.

Cheers,

Welcome to the forums RichieD.

It would be great if you could post some pix, every blackbird I have seen so far has had an off centre pearl.

Fantastic for you if its spot on, well done.

 

[azgjav]

i can't wait to see it! i've a gen black croc on deployment waiting for it..

Hi RichieD,

Congrats on new Black-B and Welcome.

A blackbird with a centred pearl would get me to part with some more hard-earned cash Lets see the pics!

 

[RichieD]

Thanks for the welcome guys. I'll try and get pics posted today.... I can't take the sound of drooling much longer!
I've been reading the stickys on how to take a good picture of watches, so I'll try my best.
So far I'm really impressed - the Bbird actually keeps better time than my £1400 ($2850) Gen Colt Auto.

Rich.

Hi. Pics as promised - Haven't played around that much with white balance etc, so colours aren't quite true to life. Interested in your thoughts and comments?

 

[italiano17771]

well i think i know what my next rep is....very nice!!! you even got a perfectly centered pearl...congrats on the new piece.

 

[Dario33]

Looks like the pearl QC issues are now resolved.

Excellent piece!

 

[pit36bus]

the blackbird is one of my favorite breitlings. might even be the best one in their line-up imo.

Anyone know when the bracelet will be available? I am holding out for the bracelet version!
