hmm..nice strap! maybe i shld put a nylon or a carbon fibre strap w white/cream stitch on my black bird!
mine's from the first batch (1997) w a diff chrono seconds hand, non COSC and a diff date wheel. there are quite a few versions of the blackbird actually, baton or numeral markers, first, second, third and fourth editions, etc. the edition before the blackbird was discontinued has a different case, pushers, crown, bezel and bracelet. looks better imho. the new blackbird uses a big date chrono movement in the evolution case which does not appeal to me at all..
