Last week I ordered a new military black strap with brushed tang buckle to fit my 2014 Aerospace Evo.
I was quoted £170 which seemed OK at the time. I collected it today and makes the watch look great, but when I got home and looked at the receipt it says "22mm black .... breitling £170 cost customer has been quoted in error". Now I'm wondering who benefited from the "error". Did I get a bargain?
What do we think?

£170 sounds about right to me.

Agreed - I was quoted £160 for a calf strap by an AD recently so that sounds reasonable.

How do you like it? I wanted to get one for my Aerosapce too. I was hoping to get the green one but that one only comes in a 24mm. I was quoted $250.00usd.

I like it very much, it is incredibly comfortable. It is basically a canvas strap with a layer of leather on the inside. So far it is a bit stiff but this should improve over time. It holds the watch more securely in position even when not fastened very tight. My titanium bracelet was letting the watch swivel arround my wrist unless adjusted so tight it became uncomfortable. I guess it is just a real nice watch strap but having the Breitling logo on the buckle makes me smile.

What are your thoughts on the strap? Was considering picking up one.

I know B straps are expensive, but £170 seems excessive to me. I plan on getting a couple of new rubber straps but will likely go for just the rubber and swap the buckles around to save costs. Does look a great strap, though; would consider one for my black baton Seawolf.

Well I don't think the AD would have benefited from quoting an error. They're not going to overcharge you, so you probably got yourself a bit of a deal
