The Breitling Watch Source Forums

I have a Avenger Seawolf titanium and I just added the ocean racer strap with polished clasp. Does anyone think the polished with matte titanium looks bad/weird. The diver pro strap it came with had a highly polished tang so I guess it is stylistically the same. My question is, should I polish up the rest in my next service (case and all), or should I leave the contrast, or should I have the clasp matte finished?

Thanks for opinions.

I have had great success re-finishing case in-between services with a scotch-brite pad, but given the raised Breitling logo on the clasp I don't think I could get it to look uniform. I am sure Breitling USA could handle at next service 3 years from now. I also am wondering if anyone has ever requested a full mirror polish on a titanium Breitling like mine?


Thank You

I'm not a fan of the polished titanium, but I do wish they made this strap with a brushed titatinium buckle. Do they?

I think at the moment the OR is only available with a polished steel deployant. Assuming that there are no structural integrity problems with the quick adjust mechanism with different materials I'm sure there will be other versions of the clasp over time - bear in mind it's only been around for 6 - 9 months.

I believe that if you alter the finish on the watch, BUSA will require it to be restored when it goes in for service. I think the best bet is to leave it, or ust have the clasp brushed.

As said earlier - you can't polish the case and make it look like the deployant, due to different metals. You have to try making the deployant brushed and looking like the case.
