calf leather or bracelet?

I love the look of both - purchasing my first Breitling and I think the bracelet is fantastic, extremely shiny and comfortable. Is the inital price worth the longevity of the bracelet, or would I be fine buying a leather and picking up a bracelet at a later date?

Eventually I want to own both so I can swap it out when I like, just wondering what I should start with.

If you can afford it, go for the bracelet to start with. The reasoning is that you will be more likely to be able to negotiate a discount on the watch rather than on just a bracelet at a later stage.... and the Navi bracelet is much more expensive that the strap.

plus they will resize it for me too..I'll see how much of a difference it is. I like the "Bling" - ha.

Both look fantastic though, I think it'll come down to a price for me

Bracelet! It both looks nicer and also as Driver says, you'll get a better total price by buying the Navi on a bracelet and then a separate leather strap than the other way around.
