There is also one in the window at La Swiss in Vancouver, at least there was last weekend. I think that is the second one I have seen there, unless the one I was weeks ago did not sell. I suppose it's a good investment, as far a having a limited edition goes, but I really don't find it that appealing. I find just about every Breitling is suitable for any occasion - except that one. It was actually in the dealers also where I got my Steelfish at the same time, I made a choice between the Steelfish or the Blackbird. I certainly could have had the Limited Edition, and normally would have jumped at the chance to own a Limited Edition, but that just has no appeal to me at all. I would far rather have the regular Skyland with the slate grey dial. Anyway, all a matter of personal taste. Even my AD did not seem to be enthusiastic about it, and certainly could give no guarantees as to the nature of the metal or how it would wear. For a Limited Edition, there seems to be an unusual high availability for something only limited to 2000. Anyway, it is still a Breitling, and I really don't think you could go wrong if that is the watch you want. Happy hunting!
Cheers,
Carl
