Very nice, love the DeWalt background too. I don't know what it is with your pics but the blue dials look absolutely fantastic.

I used to have the BEB with a brushed case but I really prefer your polished case...it looks awesome!!!

I noticed that you use a breitling tang strap on an aftermarket deployment, what kind of deployment is that?

The brand is not on the clasp but I will find the bill and tell you where I got it. I have two of them, I run the other on a after market dive strap when I wear it on my Steelfish for work. That way if I gouge up the band I haven't ruined my Breitling dive.
I have had very good luck with these deployant clasps. I have worn the other for over a year, five days a week, and never had a failure of any kind. It also keeps the strap flat and easily adjustable if my wrist swells.
Thanks for looking, Best health, Frank

I use after market bifolds on tang OEM straps. A good supplier for single and bifold after market clasps is mywatchmaker.net. They are ridiculously inexpensive (about $40) and work and wear great. I swear by them.

Interesting...I would like to know where you got the deployment as well.

What he said :lingsrock: That is where I get mine and I agree with him 100%.

Frank, that's a crisp imagine if I've ever seen one. Very nice!

Thanks for the comments people. These two have grown to be my two "go to" watches. I wear the Steelfish as my daily wear and the BEB for the other times. I often feel bad that I do not give the others in my small group any wrist time. I have to think to wear something else but these two just wear so well and I love just looking at them.
Thanks again, Best health, Frank.

Don't be, these two look awesome. I would wear them both so that I could at both of them. :wink:

Excellent collection, Frank, and great pic. Nothing against my CSO, but if I had a Steelfish and a Blackbird, I think I could be content not having another watch (not that I wouldn't dream anyway). Those are two of the best Breitlings of the last decade, and I think they represent a peak of Breitling's style and relative value - halcyon days that appear to be no more.
