This might be old news but Josh has a Blackbird on his "new" list on his site, no price yet though.

Thanks, I have been waiting for this one!

It looks good... This will be my most expensive rep so far!

Well... Looks like it's the same movement like what we see on Breitling Bentley Big Date. Nonetheless, it's a nice addition to Breitling family. It seems that case looks very similar to Chronomat's case.

Yeah, the Gen BlackBird is based on the Chrono evolution, they actually use the same case and same bracelet, crystal etc. Different dial, bezel and movement I believe.

Any word on if this one will have double AR like the BCE?

Price has been set at 398USD, and is with double AR too. Looks like this wil be my next purchase!

Looks like it might be from the same factory as the sfso and bce, but thats just a guess. running seconds at 3???

Interesting observation! This running second at 3 is an attribute of Dubuiz Depraz chrono modules on ETA2894 based movement. I am looking forward to this piece. If it's possible to make running second at 3... it's also possible to make it at 12! Then you will be getting Ultimate AP ROO :lol:

Anyword if the AR will be the same or better then the BCE? People claim the BCE's AR isnt as good as the SFSO...

Yes this new movement has the benefit of using jewels to transfer the power across the watch. Therefore it doesn't add in any extra friction, or any more stress on the movement, if serviced, it should run very well indeed!

Also its all brushed, replaced the crosswind special

if this is a modified 7750, which it is, the chrono pushers will be in line with the crown. the oem with the eta and the dd module has the chrono pushers higher on the case than the crown. this is a definate tell. that being said, id love one of these.
