The Breitling Watch Source Forums

I think I am leaning toward the Black and Brown Crocs with my World I will be getting in January. I don't know why I keep second guessing myself though with the bracelet. I feel as though the croc is the most classic look possible and having the opportunity to have 2 color crocs for the price of 1 bracelet I think may suit my style better.

Pick YOUR top two choices that you would like WITH your purchase.

Opinions?

I voted for brown and gold croc., but I am not big on the polished bracelet look, too blingy for me. I have a brown calf on my silver/ivory dial B2 and I think it looks good.

I picked up a new white dial Navi World from an AD back in April, I chose to get it on the SS bracelet, my main reason was that given the cost of the bracelet vs. the strap on deployant, $1400 vs $700 I figured I was more likely to be able to justify picking up the less costly strap at a later date than picking up the more expensive bracelet.

Turns out a few months after buying my world on the bracelet I came across a brand new camel croco strap on this site for $210, then picked up the deployant from the AD for $240 taxes in so was able to get the whole thing for $450, I’m sure if I’d waited around long enough I would have been able to pick up the deployant on this site as well for a bit less than I paid.

Bottom line, my opinion is it’s easier to find a like new used of BNIB deployant and strap than it would be to find a used bracelet. Pick up the world on the bracelet then keep your eyes open for a good deal on a used strap and deployant. and save yourself some $$, plus it's kind of fun hunting around for the strap as well.

My whole thing is either get the SS Bracelet to start or Two Crocs. I feel as though by having two different color crocs it would be perfect for my life style/work. Black with black shoes and brown with brown shoes vs. SS Bracelet all the time.

Just want to see everyones opinions on this.

Bracelet for the win.

It's very comfortable, and more reliable. You'll never have to replace it!

My vote has to go for the gold croc. It's Breitling's nicest strap--and that's saying a lot! I prefer the gold croc with the blue dial on the World, but it would look equally stunning on the silver.

My vote is white dial w bracelet. I have one and love it.
As a matter of fact I just sold my other Navi World on a brown strap w deploy bc it wasn't getting wrist time. Looked great but I have other similar watches.

I must say, both bracelet and strap on Navi World are comfortable. Two totally different looks and you have to take your lifestyle into consideration as you mentioned.

My Navi World is a sporty watch and I wear it out w jeans often. It is a dress down watch for me. The strap is a more classic look but hard to fit under shirt cuffs due to the case's 46mm size.

As as a previous poster mentioned, you cold always get a strap and deploy after.

Hope it helps and good luck, it is a great watch.

Just today I ordered the Silver world Navi with the gold croc. I'll post pics in two weeks when it comes in.

Please do I would really like to see that combo! I don't often comes across the Gold Crocs and have always been itching to see the difference.

Says it all as far as I'm concerned. It also works out cheaper to buy a watch on a bracelet and get a discount on the whole lot rather than trying to get a discount on a bracelet at a later stage.

True, interesting way of looking about it.

For the love of God, man! Make the call, get off the pot, do the deal, run the play, pull the trigger!

Oh yeah.........gold croco AND the bracelet.


I expect pics by tommorow!

I voted for brown and gold croco. I think those are soft colors that go well with the silver dial and give you a more classic look.

The order was placed a week ago but my AD said since the wait would be a little bit I still had time to decide on the strap combo! Late january early February it will be here! My AD was going to bump me up on the list however I told him that there was no rush. I need some time to get over the splurge I made on furniture for the house this past weekend. If I turned right around and spent a few K on a watch my Fiance would be rather pissed lol I figured a solid 2 months to let things blow over would be best!

I will blow up a thread with pics with ridiculously high resolution as soon as it comes in just for you
