What do you guys think of the Blackbird? At that price point would you go Blackbird or Chronomat? Do you like the Satin or Polish finish?

I'd take the blackbird over the chronomat EVERYDAY! The bracelet on the bird is awesome because it has faceted links and the big date window at 12 o'clock is very coo IMO. I now prefer the brushed finish but initially I liked the polished more. Either way you can't go wrong.

In terms of price point, all things being equal, I'd pay $750 more to own a blackbird than a chronomat.

My dream Breitling would be a Code Yellow Brushed Blackbird.

I think that is a no brainer on the BB vs chronomat.

I've seen so many chronomat evo replicas that I end up hating it.
Even the guy who made my breitling tattoo had one.
So... B L A C K B I R D !

Blackbird, I used to like the brushed better, but the polished I had really stands out and I love it. I'd definitely go for the BB over the Chronomat, the dial is just beautiful even though it's just a black dial. I find myself staring at it.

Oops, "have". I haven't seen it in almost a week so I must be going through withdrawl. That thing was on my wrist about 20 hours a day everyday while I was home. I miss it :(
