The Breitling Watch Source Forums

sharkman is a member of breitlingsource ? You sure it's a safe way to roll ? I twisted a leather strap before and i spoiled it because many lines surfaced on the front side of the leather strap.

Yes, a number of his 7,000 posts have been in response to your threads. I'm sure that's what he has done, but just wait until he sees this and replys.

Ok, thanks for the advice and help given.

cant't wait to read Tom's advice.

I just purchased 6 breitling bands, calf and crocs and have been rolling them before wearing them, it helps a lot and forms to the wrist nicer. I own a jewelry store and have been selling watch bands for years, and none come even close to breitlings leather bands. The quality is top notch

But it still is the only blue, right? I thought 101 and 102 were the same minus how they fasten?

The Breitling straps are almost tough as nails. Provided you roll them and not pinch them in a manner one would try to cut off the flow of a running garden hose, they will be fine. I generally use rubber bands to secure the strap around a faux model of my wrist made with the very foam that comes in the Breitling travel case they give you when you have a service performed.

Instead of my thumb, can someone tell me the exact way of doing it without damaging the strap ? I searched the forum and found one thread by sharkman, he wrote that one would need to roll the strap aound his thumb, starting from the thinner portion of the strap. I tried this on a cheap leather strap and it didn't do any harm to it, but once you bend the strap, it's not smart to move the curved strap slowly back to the original straighter position. If you do that. lines will start to surface on your leather strap, just leave the newly curved strap as it is.

Can i roll it on middle finger or smaller ones ? Please let me know what i should take note of.

I used a mini screw to remove the strap, i realised that the screw will damaged the top left/right hand side of the strap slightly, i believe this is ineluctable. Screw is essential to remove the spirngbars.

Correct.

Here's a couple pics of me rolling it, so you can see it.
