b16a2 Posted December 9, 2007 Report Posted December 9, 2007 I had the opportunity to see one of these in an AD today. If you like the pics, all I can say is, you'll love it in the flesh. It's a real classy looking watch!
Pugwash Posted December 9, 2007 Report Posted December 9, 2007 Great review! I think I like this one. Is it 22mm straps?
mezzanine Posted December 10, 2007 Report Posted December 10, 2007 Great review! I think I like this one. Is it 22mm straps? Yup, same as SFSO and Evo.
lanikai Posted December 10, 2007 Report Posted December 10, 2007 thank you andrew for your time and detailed info... great piece of work !!!!
Tx Walker Posted December 10, 2007 Report Posted December 10, 2007 Andrew - great review. Thanks! The Blackbird is on my short list to buy but I'm still stuck on how bad the pearl and rider tabs suck. anyone know if that has been fixed in the newer models or if there is a fix?
chrgod Posted February 22, 2008 Report Posted February 22, 2008 A bump for this excellent review. Ruby is organizing a group buy for the Blackbird. At 300 USD shipped, I am finally ready to buy one.. Hopefully, she can tell her supplier to look out for the pearl issue! http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showtopic=67829

yaron Posted March 1, 2008 Report Posted March 1, 2008 According to the pics it looks like the new batch with improved pearl. A great piece and highly recommended. Received this one a few months ago.
exsupra Posted April 4, 2008 Report Posted April 4, 2008 According to the pics it looks like the new batch with improved pearl. A great piece and highly recommended. Received this one a few months ago. Which site did you get this one from? The pearl issue does look like it has been addressed.
Pix Posted April 4, 2008 Report Posted April 4, 2008 The pearl flaw has been improved (not settled). Is it that difficult to put it right... in the center ? On its way
jkirke Posted April 5, 2008 Report Posted April 5, 2008 mine should be here in about a week. thanks to Ruby Ordered a gen Rubber strap for her tonight. Ordering a BCE pearl tab next week to use as a replacement for the off-centered BB pearl.
Pix Posted April 5, 2008 Report Posted April 5, 2008 I'd be interested to know where the pearl can be ordered. It seems to be a good backup solution if the one that comes with the BB is really too bad.

dovo1695 Posted April 11, 2008 Report Posted April 11, 2008 This watch is gorgeous on leather, even better on a black Nato, and heart stopping with an SS bracelet. Has anyone gotten in the SS bracelet for this watch yet? I'm keen to hear how the quality is, and would love to see some close up pics.
capice Posted April 11, 2008 Report Posted April 11, 2008 better late then never......what a great review Andreww, just awesome writeup bro grazi
jkirke Posted April 11, 2008 Report Posted April 11, 2008 Gen rubber arrived for mine today. Watch isn't here yet, but i'm giving the strap a test drive on my UPO. feels great. in reguards to the BCE pearl tab, i was just going to order the entire BCE bezel then take the pearl tab off my self and swap it on the BB. unless i can talk a dealer into sourcing just the pearl tab for me. here are some pics of mine on the way from Ruby. pics don't include the SS bracelet. It deffinatly needs the datewheels re-centered. sorry about completly hijacking this thread. i feel like an [censored].
jjog Posted September 28, 2008 Report Posted September 28, 2008 Very nice and detailed review, thanks. I really like this watch, I'm gonna buy it no matter how many flaws it has.
