My vote is for the Blackbird, black dial, brushed finish. It's a classic, in my opinion. It's hard to explain why - in person, it just looks fantastic.

The faceted link segment Blackbird Pilot bracelet is only a hundred bucks more than the smooth link segment Chronomat Pilot bracelet and your AD would be happy to order the faceted bracelet for your Chronomat should you prefer that "look".

Would the AD be willing to trade out the bracelet at time of purchase, so the purchase price only increases by $100? I don't doubt that ADs would be happy to order the bracelet if I were willing to shell out the full $1400.

I just threw up in my mouth a little thinking about a blinged Blackbird. So wrong.

thanks for the comments...
even when i tried the mop at the store i never saw the real mop color.i saw some pictures on the net when its looks amazing!some said that no mop dial is the same because the pearl color changed from watch to watch but i believe that the effect shoud be the same.
when you look at it just like that it seems to be like a regular white dial.. :(
anyone here can show me the mop eefect from different angles?



Sorry for the 'tired' pic.

Toro, a BB+ looks like this:

Get real, guys. That watch has WAY too much testosterone to put up with anything so estrogen laden as diamonds. It would kick any blinged-up SA's ass into the middle of next week, with one time zone tied behind its back.

I know...so was my comment. Maybe I should have used the :poke:. In fact, I think your recommendation for Al's UTC BB is hysterical. :wink:

Al, just out of curiosity, how comfortable is that thing to wear? It looks awesome, but I found my Chronomat to be almost like an anchor just by itself. I couldn't imagine it with a UTC module attached to it.
