Pricing for strap and clasp

asnpcwiz · **Posted:** Tue Jun 19, 2012 6:16 pm

Hey guys, I'm looking to buy a croc strap and some type of deployant clasp (I know there are multiple kinds). I live in northern VA and am in the market to buy one ASAP. Can anyone tell me where I may be able to get these for a good price? I found a place that has an inventory of croc straps that they will sell at the $480 price as opposed to ordering new for $550, but the deployant is at least $270 for the cheaper one and something like $340 for the other one. Anyone know how I can get these at a better rate?

The last list price I saw for a deployant to go with the leather/croc straps was $270.

The more expensive deployant you mention may be the one to fit the Ocean Racer and Diver straps.

Those are the only two Breitling deployants that I know.

They turn up sometimes in the Buy/Sell forum here but if you are in a hurry you may have to bite the bullet...

Discounts will never be as good on peripherals because there is less dollar margin in them for the AD. If you want the Breitling deployants then you'll have to pay close to that, and only the one designed for leather will work with croc, not the OR style.

I think you guys in the US get them quite a lot cheaper than we do in the UK

I have just been searching the forums on this very subject and was about to start a new thread. I am in the UK and my Navi is on the black leather strap. However, I have just seen some pics in the gallery of Navis on brown straps and I think they look stunning. I'd like to experiment with different straps (not necessarily OEM until I'm sure) so wondered where would be a good place to look for alternative straps? Also, where is a good place to get the tool I need to change the straps with?

Thanks

Do a search for after market straps here and also try the Watch Accessory Discussion for ideas.

Search the Bay for a Bergeon 6767 F. Its the correct strap changing tool @ around 30$

I've been doing the same & have a thread going but for my Seawolf.

At present, Ebay does look like the best option with the straps I'm looking at being £10-15 cheaper than the online strap shops.

As was mentioned in the other thread, the Toshi straps look lovely too

I'd certainly be wary of buying a supposedly genuine breitling strap from Ebay, but were talking £20-30 Hirsch or BOB straps from business Sellers with thousands of positive feedback so probably minimal risk.

Look here for a Breitling sized strap made by Camille Fournet, strap maker for Patek, JLC, Breguet. Half the price of an OEM but not comparable with an OEM deploy.

Pretty much 'pays your money and take your choice'

I rate adp of paris for aftermarket.

Thanks everyone for your help. I got the tool, sourced a strap from watchobsession and I'm pretty chuffed with the result! Apologies for poor quality photo. Now just have to deal with "have I fitted it properly" panic attacks! Have wriggled it and tugged it and it seems very secure so I think I'm ok.
