b16a2 Posted December 9, 2007 Report Share 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pugwash Posted December 9, 2007 Report Share Posted December 9, 2007 Great review! I think I like this one. Is it 22mm straps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mezzanine Posted December 10, 2007 Report Share Posted December 10, 2007 Great review! I think I like this one. Is it 22mm straps? Yup, same as SFSO and Evo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tx Walker Posted December 10, 2007 Report Share 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 Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yaron Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pix Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkirke Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pix Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dovo1695 Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share 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 Share Posted April 11, 2008 better late then never......what a great review Andreww, just awesome writeup bro grazi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkirke Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share 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]. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjog Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share 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.
