Anyone seen the new polished version of the Blackbird and do they know if it is the same price as the satin version? US and Canada MSRP?

The Satin Steel (A4435910/B811) has a US MSRP of $6940
The Polished (A4435912/B811) has a US MSRP of $6940 so yes they are the same price :)

I did see one at my AD a couple of months ago. They also had a brushed version, so I was able to compare side-by-side.
I think the Blackbird is possibly the most polished of any. Even the bezel is polished. That thing really shines! You really have to see it in person to get the full effect. The new Breitling website has pretty good pics, but they still don't get that shine! The only thing I would say is, that the dial looked washed out to me in comparison to the case and bracelet. I think the dial needs something to brighten it up, sort of like the Steelfish or Colt GMT. That is just my opinion. For that reason, if I was going for a Blackbird, I would get the Brushed version.
Hope this helps somewhat.
Cheers,
Carl
