watchedup Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 Just got one of them from toro last week.Very happy with the purchase.Although when I ordered was told that the ocean racer strap was unavailable so had to go with the pro diver II.Just as well as I was able to find a ocean racer strap on ebay for 20 bucks.Here are some pics of the blackbird., Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Resistor Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 The Blackbird has always been one of my favorite chronos but I've never grown fond of the blacksteel versions. I think it's because Breitling never went all the way and PVD'd the bracelets. Seems like a half measure to offer only rubber straps for these special editions. Seeing these Blackbird pics makes me want to get my brushed version fixed and running again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

watchedup Posted January 31, 2015 Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 Very nice! Could you guys please share how's the PVD under normal light? I mean black or dark grey? Thanks! PVD is black under normal light.Of course with the pvd its a shiny black but a black none the less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tframo Posted February 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 Only problem is that the lume is very weak in the hour markers. Almost non existent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watchedup Posted February 6, 2015 Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 Only problem is that the lume is very weak in the hour markers. Almost non existent Yea the movement on mine has already taken a dump.Started out by not holding a power reserve for anything(less than 6hours).Then just the other day it stopped ticking.Am going to crack the back and give it a look-see.Let me ask anyone out there(I know i'm being lazy)what all movements could I replace this a7750 chrono with.I truly do not care if the chrono feature even works so would be willing to go with a non chrono movement if I could get it to work without a major overhall(hands change and whatnot).The case is 42.5x17 mm is that helps.

watchedup Posted February 6, 2015 Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 chances are the gear for the running seconds at 3 o'clock is messed up im not sure.I popped the back and the flywheel is not even spinning and when I hand wind the little gear(thats the techincal term) does not spin.Not sure what to make of it.
