Hello,

Does anyone have any pictures of a Chrono Evo with a (22mm)Diver Pro Strap? Preferably a black dial would be nice but really any color will do!

THANKS!

This would be a combo I have not seen.

Why would somebody ruin their EVO like that?

Well with all opinions aside.... I was thinking to get one for mine when on go on my upcoming vacation. Don't get me wrong I love my Evo but I think to bring it on a tropical vacation with me would be a little to much to wear all day so I thought about getting the Diver Pro just for my vacation! Much more comfortable and won't mind wearing 24/7 while I am there. (Not that it is uncomfortable with the steel strap) But, MORE comfortable period ya know! 8)

Eventually I would like to get the black leather as well!

That's a fairly rare combo but undoubtedly something that has been done before. If you check the Japanese fitting site they do show an option with the Diver Pro / Pro ll and OR on a Chronomat. You might look there to get an idea if that is something that you like.

That's like putting hub caps on a BMW...

I'm just pulling your chain. I typically do not wear my watches on vacation because I don't want to leave something that valuable in a hotel room or risk being robbed by the locals.

haha no I get ya.... I appreciate your thoughts! That is what I am saying though... with the rubber strap I wouldn't mind wearing it ALL THE TIME and not leaving it in the room (like you said)! I feel naked not bringing it with me ya know!? Therefore, the rubber strap would work out great!

Well hear is another argument then.... Isn't all Breitlings "BMWs" technically (with your analogy). What is so special about the Chrono Evo that it shouldn't have the rubber strap but other B's are ok with it?

Just curious as to why thats all! Thanks!

To each his own. There is no "right" way to wear your Breitling.

Some people do feel, however , that having a bracelet is the pinacle of Breitling-ness. Breitling makes some very nice bracelets which are as well crafted as the timepieces themselves. There is also the "rugged" look that is evinced by having a bracelet. I think there is also as school of thought that the watch head can look disproportionatly large without a beefy bracelet to balance the heft (like a lolly-pop, huge head with skinny legs).

The only thing that really matters is that you enjoy the way your watch looks/feels on your wrist.
