I have an AVENGER SEAWOLF Ti and have been thinking to add a rubber strap. Its a tossup between the "new" Ocean Racer or the older Diver Pro. Does anyone have a pic to share of the Seawolf on an Ocean Racer Strap?

I don't have any pics of either, but in terms of an opinion I have to say the OR is much nicer as I much prefer deployant clasps, and I've also never been much of a fan of the embossed wording on the Diver Pro. However, neither strap has a titanium buckle or deployant option, so you'll always be mixing a ti watch with a steel clasp..... which you may not like aesthetically if that kind of thing bothers you. You could always have the OR deployant brushed to better resemble ti like one of the guys did on here a few months back. |

thanks for pointing the "detail" to me! I just had to have this newest and latest strap, so I went ahead and ordered it. As soon as I install it, I will post pics.... |

The OR is miles better than the DP. The rubber is thicker and the deployant is amazing. |

. Exactely, the embossing on the Diver pro is very unattractibe and unbecoming of the class of the watches. I find overly large logos and brand names very unapealing. Why not consider a leather strap? Breitling makes excellent ones! |

The one thing to consider is the ocean racer clasp is polished while the Seawolf is titanium. I think one member on here brushed his clasp on his ocean racer and that looked nice. |

If you get the OR, find someone that has a bead blaster and get them to bead blast the clasp, and then it will match your watch much better! |

Admin, you do indeed have a wide reach. I do not know anyone with a bead blaster!!! What, aside from tuning up the look of my watch, would that be used for? And furthermore, would someone who uses that for blasting metal be a good person to use for one's 'Ling?

Gents, I got a new 22mm black oceanracer with a satin (brushed) finish clasp. I got it on Ebay, and thought it was a replica. I emailed busa, and someone from another forum has one and emailed Breitling Switzerland, and we were both told that they come in both finishes. FYI. I have picts if anyone is interested just pm me. Thanks. |
