Blackbird Blackeye Blue Dial

Hello everyone,

Attached picture is from Breitling.com for reference. Was wondering if somebody bought this already. How does it look in person? For those who've bought them care to share why you chose this dial over the black one, thanks!

I think that's an AWESOME dial! I saw one in person at Tourneau...Stunning dial. I plan on getting that Blackbird in that dial next chance I get, but in the polished case and band.

Mark, thanks for the response. One question, why polished case? Don't you think it get scratch easily?

I actually think brushed shows scratches easier, but that's just my opinion. I also like the look of polished, and if I do scratch it, being a dentist, I can just take it to work and polish it.

Thats a good tip.
I just bought me a polished Chronomat. I'm going to have to remember to
bring it in with me my next dental cleaning and ask for a 2 for 1 deal

Hah! I think if your dentist is cool, he/she wouldn't have any problem with that! I'd do it for any of my patients if they asked!
