The Breitling Watch Source Forums

Guys,

Need some honest opinions here, my LING is below, bare in mind im wearing it with my Blue strap which i love, i also have the 2 tone Rose gold bracelet, but im leaning towards a normal polished SS bracelet, what do you all think ?



Cheers

Daz

this beautiful chronomat gold/steel won't feet well with a only steel pilot bracelet but witht the two tone pilot, or with the blue (or also brown) strap like in the picture.

The steel, for me away, Kinda seems like the second best option so for me the Rose two-tone Is number 1 or for a toned down look go for your blue strap.

BTW I think its would look great on a brown leather strap!

indeed!
see my chronomat blue dial with brown strap, looks great.. and before i always had blue straps for this one, shark and then leather but always blue.. then my watchmaker suggested me to 'dress' it with a brown one and, after some my reluctance, i agree and i am now so satisfied.

I agree with the other gentlemen. SS won't tie in well enough with the gold in the head. I think you've already got the best bracelet for that particular watch. If I were in your situation, I might think about a brown or black strap, depending on the dial color (is it black or blue?), or just put the money towards another Ling. Just my .02.

Hey Daz,

How are you mate? Can you get hold of SS bracelet to try or trial to see if you like it. I personally like the TT bracelet on a TT watch. I think the SS would look too blingy, if that makes sense.

Cheers Aaron

Ill disagree with these guys and say that I think that a full stainless bracelet would look great with the two tone head. Ive seen one before, and it looks awesome, particularly on models like yours with the full rose bezel.

EDIT: This is the best pic I could find with a quick google. Its from some replica site, but you get the idea. (mods, please delete if necessary)

Not a gold lover (bronze maybe) but I think the bi metal bracelet would suite best.

Absolutely agree on this one with you electrosound, the Chronomat looks "naked" with a full stainless bracelet

There are several timepieces I would buy if they were offered with a bracelet, but then again there are timepieces I wouldn't own because of the bracelet (see Superocean Heritage) In my opinion, bracelets are the only way to go. Failure rates are rare and they are much easier to maintain. You don't have to replace them like leathers or skins after constant wear. Plus, I think they add beauty to a timepiece.
