Changing the deployant is no harder than changing the strap itself.... although personally I'd be tempted to buy a second deployant just for convenience sake.

How practical is it (or is it even possible) to change the deployant buckle from strap to strap. I would like to get both a black and brown strap for my Skyland and I just want to know if I need two deployant buckles or one. Thank, as always. |

Hi, You should only need one deployant providing you have the correct tool for fitting and removing straps. About the best is "Bergeon" which is available via Ebay. Cost me £10, I suppose that would be roughly $20.....I change straps every so often with no problems. Just waiting for a new "Black Liizard Strap for my Cockpit. Regards PS The pointed piece I use for the Clasp end is Ref No 6767F and the V shape for the watch end is Ref No 6767S |

In the US anyone have a ballpark as to what a replacement (or space) deployant might cost (steel) or what an off-market version might cost? If off-market, any good sources anyone can recommend? |

authentic watches has them for 245.00. http://www.authenticwatches.com/breitli ... uckle.html you can look for them on ebay, i recently seen one go for about 150.00. it wasnt brand new but thats still a decent price. if you buy one thats aftermarket itll be much cheaper but for me id rather spend a little extra for the authenticity. in my opinion a beautiful watch deserves authenticity. |

Yeah.. I like to have a deployant for every strap.. unless you are buying aftermarket straps. There are some good ones. There is added wear when you remove and replace the deployant strap as well.. which I find if you do it too many times the "retention" of the side that has the friction hold on the strap isn't as good and I find my straps loosen slightly over the course of a day. Best bet is to get a deployant for each strap. |

I got a price list along with the Chronolog my AD gave me yesterday. The folding steel clasp is listed at $200.00 from Breitling. The prices in the US and Canada are now the same. Cheers, Carl |
