Is the blackbird trying too hard or is it ok in your opinion? Would love to get one but I don’t want it to feel like I’m walking around wearing camo battle dress or something.

I always sorta cringe when I see a thread showing off another new strap or bracelet as “new shoes.”

Breitling Factory Service?
I recently purchased a Chrononmat 44 GMT that I have no service history for.
I placed it on a timegrapher and it is registered at the upper level of the specs.
I went online and ordered a service shipping package from Breitling; shipped from/to Connect…
Does Anyone Know What These Art Deco-y Numbers Are Called?
They’re absolutely stunning and I haven’t seen them on many Breitlings. This is a Ref. 1188. The serial number on the caseback dates it to 1950, which checks out in terms of dial, movement and plating (chrome).

Thank you!

Here’s a funny story (since it turned out ok).
Continue readingYesterday I was looking closely at my Avenger II GMT. I’ve never liked the fit of the spring bars, since it looks like only the very tip of the bar fits into the hole in the lug. In my estimation, most shouldered spring bars are poorly designed. To me it looks like the shoulder is too close to the tip of the bar. I have piles of various sized single, and double shouldered spring bars, and they all look like that to me. When you contrast…
