My SA was on a Deploy and fine. Just a-just it correctly and it is very comfy.

In fact I think I'll put my lot on their winter straps later.

I've never had the problem either. Do you have fairly small wrists - I can see how that might cause more of a tendency for it to happen, but never experienced it personally.

My AS is on an OR with deployment and its more secure (less rotation around the wrist) than on my bracelet. I assume the rubber has more traction properties than the leather though...

Right now, I am wearing my Seawolf (SS) on rubber (DP), and as you know, the WOLF is the heaviest watch Breitling makes.
Its really comfortable, I don't even notice the weight
My SOH, on leather/deployant...again comfortable (for me)

Yeah, I've never had a problem at all with deployants either as the Breitling type is infinitely adjustable, so you can get the perfect fit with a bit of experimentation. With the tang and buckle however you are somewhat limited by where the holes are drilled, so you will either be lucky or unlucky if it fits just right or not.

Exactly what I wanted to say. I used to wear my Skyland on an Ocean Racer and that combo was perfect. My wrist is really small at 6.5" so it's difficult to get a bracelet to fit just right. With a heavy watch like the AS, if the bracelet was just slightly too loose, the watch would flop around, really annoying me. The Ocean Racer, though, can be loose enough to be comfortable but the traction afforded by the rubber meant that it wouldn't move around like a bracelet would.

I ordered a OR w/ deployment clasp...the first one I had did ratchet loose everytime I wore it. Not a lot but jsut enough to annoy me so I returned it to my AD and he gave me a new one. The new one works great!! I wear the OR in the summer and just changed back to my bracelet a couple of weeks ago!!

Never had this problem, but have a few straps (rubber and leather) on deployant that goes on my SA every now and then.
