OK, lets assume I've decided to get a brand new Blackbird in the brushed/satin finish.
I can't stretch to the bracelet and besides it tends to make the watch look a little big on me compared to say the Ocean racer and leather/croc straps.
So I'm ordering it on the Breitling croc strap on deployment (not tang buckle) and also buying an Ocean Racer & deployment to give me another option or if I decide it may get wet.
Which colour croc (not standard calf hide/leather) strap do you think will look the best?
A dark brown, a lighter tan brown or perhaps the black?
Would a black croc be too similar to the black OR rubber or are they different enough to give a totally different look to the watch from each other?
Would a brown croc be required to give that diversity or is it just not suited to the BB style and look?
If I go for the BB it will clean me out financially so it must be a combo that will tick all my boxes (Dress, beach, casual) and not give me cause to regret not going for two cheaper watches in place of the one watch i.e Omega PO AND an SMP or whatever...?
Is the BB suitable to be worn as a dress or formal watch with a suit etc or is it too tool like and bulky?
I tried a Chrono evo on black croc on in an AD the other day and was pleasantly surprised at how supple the thick OEM croc was! I expected it to be so stiff that it would just drop straight down my wrist without first curving around a little, thus making it look like all watch head and no strap. That was not the case. Perhaps the watch had been on a stand for so long that the strap had been "broken in" or perhaps that's just how they are (I hope so!)
Opinions and of course pics are welcome, appreciated and will be of great help in deciding. In particular wrist shots?
Thanks,
Mac.
Was it ....740P?
