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

Man you really captured the blue well on both of those dials. Stunning picture!!

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.

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.
