While the Superocean Pro, with it's brushed finish isn't very "Blingy"
I put on this shark strap a while ago and have had it on ever since.
It kind of fits with the whole concept of the watch.

Are we in love with our rubber and stainless straps that we don't get into the Panerai-style strap obsession? I'm looking for people that have popped vintage bands on their shiny watches. I love the contrast and the "de-blinging" of a watch like this. Lemme see the photos! |

I want to see more leather and Croco strap options as well. I am working on something along these lines to be able to post something shortly. Don't get me wrong, I love the the SS bracelet options for these watch, but would like to see some other combos too.

I think that proves it for me - Pannies look best of Pannie straps and Breitlings look best on Breitling straps. They look great as they were meant to be. |

I actually agree, my PAMs look much better with those particular straps, however there are excellent after market straps that could go very well on a Breitling, as long as they are not the vintage type. Only Panerai seem to be able to pull those off for some reason. |

Nice swapping there Altair. I agree with Driver, the Breitling strap is without a doubt the best looking one (for the 6.75, that is) but I also think it's nice to have some options. Both the first and second pic looks good to me! |
