Beautiful! I've got my eye on one too, as soon as I see some pics of the bracelet version! Ruby is my dealer of choice as well! Congrats!

Man looks great! Has anyone notice that rep straps are a hell of a lot better nowadays?

Very beautiful. I somehow missed the blackbird in making my list of must get watches. This is NICE! I'll have to contact Ruby when my funds get up to snuff :?

Very nice watch. How is the overall feel of the quality? Is it solidly constructed. Give us your impression now that you've had it running for a few days?

Thanks,

jk

I find the rep Breitling deployant to be very uncomfortable. Not sure what to do to improve the situation.

How would this look on Breitling rubber? I'm thinking about throwing this one on a gen Breitling strap.

AR doesn't look great from the pics, but it's hard to know without holding the watch.

Yes according to the pics..it's difficult to see the AR but it's as great as my SFSO... :wink:

Gotta agree with Breitling replica strap quality. Not what you'd expect from the genuine article but it's pretty good (at least much better than IWC replica strap). Nice watch Yannou, wear it in good health. I am not sure that pushers position is an issue on this piece (the genuine article is using a modified ETA289x series movement with additional chrono module so the pushers locations are not in line with time setting crown).

I bet it would look good on a rubber strap. I do think a lot about these sort of things. I think a rubber strap would work well. Rubber on a Navitimer, no way.

Your new watch looks great. How's the date-wheel alignment on it? And do you guys know when the SS band version is coming out?
