Question on a BBB polished. I am considering the above but it comes on a non Breitling strap. From reading the BBB usually came brushed. Was there a polished version produced and did it originally come with the "faceted" pilot bracelet? If so would it be easier to buy a brushed Blackbird bracelet and get the watch brushed by Breitling or find a polished faceted BB bracelet?

There are polished and brushed versions of the watch, and I believe of the bracelet.

BBB = blackbird? If thats the case, yeah, both polished and brushed were options. The faceted blackbird bracelet is unique to the blackbird. Both models come with it, and no, it would not be cheaper to buy it separately.

you can still buy a polished BB bracelet new. It is conceivable you can find one used. It is probable Breitling would refuse to brush the case of a polished Bird.

The simplest and best solution if you aren't willing to pay full boat for the bracelet from Breitling is just wait for a polished BB on bracelet to become available.
