Nice review. Well spoken and thought out.

Shame about the video quality though.

I just love the BlackBird Black. The ceramic-like lustre of the case finish is gorgeous. Being limited to 2000 I think these will fly (sic) out of the ADs.

Thanks again for an informative review.

The video quality is my fault sorry - shaky hands!! Maybe I should stop having three sugars in my tea just before I film Bob!

I think the Blackbird Blacksteel is the nicest blacksteel I have seen in a while - it has a really nice high gloss finish which makes it look really attractive

LOL! :lol:

Indeed. I think my hands would have been shaking if I were that close to the gorgeous Blackbird Blacksteel as well. :lol:

Please keep these reviews coming. I enjoy them immensely.

Lately I had distracted myself from constantly oogling the Blackbird pics and reviews, but this one my have kick started my obsession.

My only problem is I am not totally in love with the non-BS versions, and I cant quite yet justify the LE premium.

Until then I may just have to bookmark this video

Hi Thomas

I always think we work hard enough not to feed our passions, we should treat ourselves to the things we love. Everyone can always self justify - if its something you really want its possible!

Theres no point dreaming about a watch but then settling for a cheaper version its a false economy because you know ultimately you are never going to be happy until you own your dream watch. Plus with a limited edition you know it wont be around forever.

I want one...

would be cool if they came out with a blacksteel bracelet to match...but the rubber is still really nice, and prob very comfortable.

Thanks for the review! This watch is really a beautiful piece!

Btw, for the "shaky" video, I think the best way to avoid it is to get a small stand, the video quality will be a looooooot better! :wink:
