Thanks to this forum and the kind tips of a member here, I was able to get all the way to my dream watch. The stock band is stored away until I can figure out how (if possible) to adapt it without modification to the UTC - but for now, here's my Blackbirdomat UTC

Best,
-Dan

It's a lot like the DSSD really. Substantial, with a thicker profile and weightiness. It's one serious looking watch to be sure. With ostensibly five dials - it should be!

Looks great with the UTC! :thumbsup:

The BB has really grown on me over the years, and it shows what, IMO, a Breitling really should look like.

Looks great. There's something about that Big Date at the 12 o'clock position I love. Really perfectly proportioned timepeice.

Very nice indeed!

Why oh why didn't I buy the BB last early last year instead of the Cosmonaute and subsequently when I flipped the Cossie, why didn't I buy the BB instead of the Super Avenger Black Steel?

I'm seriously considering moving the Black Steel on and getting a used BB on the stunning faceted bracelet (.....and of course the brown croc, oh yeah, and the Ocean Racer......)
