My Datora comes with a brown strap and Im looking for a black one, my AD is fresh out and says it will take a month or more to order from Breitling. Does not have to be original Breitling just really good quality.

Thanks in advance

There are lots of great brands of straps like Hirsch, Hadley Roma and Di Modell... most AD's carry other brands of straps too... check out watch prince .. there are tons of others too though i can't think of any but i know Birks carries Hirsch.. maybe Mayor's does in the US.

Altair,

Check out this link, it is an example of the RARE occasion where a non metal strap is appropriate.

That is one fugly watch! :shock:


I dunno, my AD had the SS bracelet for the Datora but it looked better on leather as do most Navitinmers in my opinion with the exception of the World and (naturally) Heritage

I think I'd go with this one

www.worldtempus.com/wt/1/11617/5384

Of course if you bought it you wouldn't be able to afford a bracelet anyway.

sigh.

I see this all the time at cigar forums, except its ring gauge instead of straps.


All in the spirit of fun, but its called personal prefference people, get used to the concept :D

I used this seller to purchase my cape cod cloths from. It was a great transaction. I have not purchased a strap from him but the selection looks good. http://stores.ebay.com/Time-Connection-Watch-Straps

Hope it helps.

Speaking of Cigars, and to hijack your thread, what do you think of Opus X cigars? A lot of the anti-cuban crowd really seem to like those.

Excellent cigars and very, very well made!!

For the US market they fill a niche, but honestely if you have access to (cuban) Partagas (what I feel Opus wishes they were) why bother? All the flavor and more for a fraction of the cost. But again they are very well made and I do rather like their mini belicoso size, fun! Woud not buy a box though.

That's an interesting viewpoint... good to hear good to hear! We don't see much of that stuff around here.. here we get all the Cuban stuff and some cheaper stuff along with the Panter stuff from Holland, which I have actually started to like.

Admin,

The Opus X and Maximus by Fuente are pretty good for a non Cuban but I like the Cubans better and we get them for less money. I like Cohiba's, Monte Christo #2's, Bolivars and Romeo Belicoso's. We got a connection here about 5 years ago and it's very reliable. I'm curious though about the Canadian prices. For example, what is the cost in US equivalent for a box of Cohiba Siglo 6's in Canada ?
