I would like to have other band options for my CSO. The professional 2 bracelet it came with is very susceptible to scratches, so I would like to have a couple other bands to put on it for different occasions/activities. Is there any place online where I can purchase the leather and/or rubber bands? If not, I'm guessing I can pick these up at the place where I purchased the watch.

I would prefer genuine Breitling, but if there is another quality maker I'm open to that.

Any suggestions on a winder case? Is Steinhausen decent quality?

Many thanks for any replies.

Mike in Boston.

There are lots of places to buy the straps for your CSO, including the BreitlingSource store here ;)

Look for 20mm width.

Steinhausen winders were crappy when I saw them, but who knows now. The technology used in them has probably improved drastically in the last year. I always recommend Orbita or Wolf or Rapport winders.

Those wolf winders make the steinhausen models look like crap. Thanks for the help.

Yah, even the wolf designs 1.0 winders are pretty good.

One good thing about the Orbita single windershowever is that if you want to move them into a safe you can just pull it out of the case and put them in the safe and they don't take much space and run for long periods on battery power.

Also if you compare the wood workmanship and weight of the Steinhausen winders with the Orbita or Rapport winders you will find that they are much more cheaply made. The Orbita cases in particular and very well made.

Then for the rich among us, there's always Scatola Del Tempo
