I've been looking to add a nice white dial watch to go along with my black dial skyland avenger. The bentley motors looked a lil too big but the navitimer world looked just right. But there is something weird about the watch+strap. It seems like there is a huge gap between the case and the strap no?

With a bracelet it looks just fine.

Also, speaking of bracelets and straps, I am interested in buying different straps and bracelets to mix things up but I wanted to know how easy it was to remove and place bracelets/straps off breitlings. I've seen videos of it on youtube but I figured I would try to ask u guys. (any particular tools are needed for it?)

Thanks,

I have a video of strap changing in my videos section.. its pretty easy with a Bergeon tool.

There is a gap with the strap.. you could try picking up one of those Hirsch Leonardo straps with the curved lug ends. I have wanted one for a while, and will likely get around to purchasing one soon.

ya the gap thing is kinda bugging me... depending on the angle u look at it just doesnt look right so I might have to go with a bracelet.

As for the bergeon spring bar tools, I see there is a ton of different models available. Which 1 or 2 particular model could do the job for most breitlings?

You'll find the Bergeon Spring Bar Tool 6767-F will work well.
