Absolutely stunning watch - please excuse my ignorance - what is the difference between a faceted pilot bracelet and a standard one ?

The links of the standard pilot bracelet are more rounded, whereas the Blackbird bracelet, while essentially be the same in terms of design and size of the links etc, has a more angular finish to the links - hence faceted. Look closely at pictures of the two and you will see the difference. Hope that helps.

I was just thinking about how to describe it - Driver8 did better than I would do.

Take a look at this page - http://www.breitlingsource.com/watch_de ... er_12.html - one of the pictures shows the facets very well.
