Hi All,

New to the forums. Have purchased my first Breitling a lemania 2000 cosmonaute in two tone. (pre owned).

Comes with some aftermarket strap, am looking to replace it with a genuine clasp croc in brown. Very expensive so far, even online.

Let me know what you all think...

Oh and any advice as to where I would be able to source a croc strap for a decent price in Australia would be great.

Thats a great looking very cool peice you have there. I am waiting for a Lemania Cosmo to call my name in the near future, and love the two tone model.

I've been reading and hearing that a lot of people tend to prefer the Lemania over the new 22 movement, is there any particular reason for this? I was about to buy a new cosmo before I got a good deal on this one...

Lemania is one of the best quality movements available. Nothing wrong with ETA based, but the Lemania is acknowledged to be a step up.

Beautiful watch, the brown croc's are definitely expensive but well worth it IMO.

I've never seen a gold bezel/slide area on any other navitimer before, is it an oem part?
