After some consideration, alot of haggling and a bunch of questions from the resident experts here, I finally pulled the trigger and purchased a Crosswind Special with Black dial last night!
I should be receiving it on Wed this week...I'm pretty excited about this one. My watch buying will be on hold for a while though after this one! Thanks Mark for referring me over here from thw WUS forums where I usually hang out. I'll be reading as much as I can and picking some of your brains!
Here's the photos of the watch from the seller. I will post some of my own and my impressions when it arrives!

Now that's a nice one. Congrats!

My only gripe with this particular model is the rectangular chrono pushers. Other than that the Crosswind Special is a real stunner in my book. Especially the big date like on the Blackbird.

Thanks guys!
I actually like the rectangular pushers..it's make them look different than the crown and makes the watch look a little more chunky to me. I think the Hercules has rectangular pushers as well, but they are smooth.
Roff, I know I posted photos in the replica section, but that was just to get some advice on the watch. This was to celebrate the watch! Sorry for the double photos :wink:

So I'd love to get a UTC Module with a black dial and silver wings...That would look sweet!

One like this

So it looks like this

Do I need a whole new UTC Pilots bracelet, or just the Module that fits the pilots bracelet?
And I'm sure they are not easy to come by these days either...
