Thanks alot You Guys!! I've been trying to decide between the two also and yesterday drove a hundred miles to compare both of these watches and came home with the Blackbird. I just liked the looks of the Blackbird better, but how could You go wrong with either watch, They both are great watches in every :lingsrock: way!

As for the B01 the only thing that was making me like it was the movement but Im just not that crazy about the bezel..etc

As a BlackBird owner, you may think my post is bias; however, I've owned the watch for almost two years now and I got a lump in my throat when I saw the B01. I was afraid I spent all this money on my BlackBird and I wanted a new Breitling already!

I couldn't get it out of my mind, and then I got a chance to see one while on a business trip. It took all of about 3 seconds to realize that, IMO, the BlackBird is a much cooler looking watch. I love the big date and it is very luminous. I wasn't crazy about the bezel on the B01 either.

Obviously it comes down to personal preference, but I think the B01 is much more stunning in the lovely magazine pictures than it is in real life.

Best of luck with it - I love mine :)

Hhhhmmm difficult choice. I had a B01 but couldn't grow to like it. I like the BB but can't stand the big date on it. A B01 movement in a BB case with the B01 dial but with a different date font would be a nice fantasy project...
