As always ricardo, I can but :bow: to your report.

May I say that I totally agree with your last two phrases.

Also, I especially like the close-up pics of the unique styling of the numbers of the dial.

Thank You for Your kind words Mr Tomcat.

Not my greatest literary work, if I'm being honest. However, I may embelish it in the near future. I've just been so busy recently and I wanted to give something back to Andrew Michaels after they kindly leant me the SA BlackSteel. What an awesome watch.

Great review Ricardo. I know there are lots of folks who don't like the Blacksteel models, but I love the one I have. However, as much as I love the SS Blackbird, I did not like the BS version. Just my opinion. Great post!

This review strengthens my passion for Breitling "BLACKSTEEL". I currently own the Avenger Seawolf in B/S and am looking fwd to the day I can get my hands on a SA in B/S. In fact just last night I walked too close to the refrigerator and slammed the 30 minute rider tab on the door handle. I looked down at the watch and noticed that the rider tab had some of the handle's finish on it. Rubbed the handle's finish off the watch and can't tell it ever happened. Wife is pissed at the scratch on the handle of the fridge though.

Thank You.

That's a great testimonial on the BS DLC. Thanks for sharing.

I have an 8 inch wrist. And to echo what has been said, the blacksteel coating is amazing. I had mine next to a stainless steel watch in my winder, and they had rubbed eachother. The case of the stainless watch had rub marks, but there was NOTHING on the SA BS. :D I wear mine quite often, and it can take a beating. Thanks for the review.
