Wanting to wear my Breitling Bentley 30sec a little more often with a Lil versatility in mind. It's currently sitting on a brown croc strap and have the SS bracelet as well I'm looking to add a Blue crock to mix it up. Your thoughts thanks.

That looks incredible on the Speed bracelet, with a nice blue croc it would look stunning! Those Havana dials are insanely gorgeous

The blue croc may be too bright for this watch, I'd almost try to find something more navy.

Hmmmm, I'm not sure about blue croco with that fantastic dial. :? I don't mind it going the other way - blue dial with brown calf/croco, but I just feel it might look a little odd going for a blue strap with a brown dial. I guess you could always try it virtually on the Breitling website configurator.

The Havana has been retired and replaced with Bronze.
It's a unique look.

I think in the flesh it would look much better, I've come to learn the color hues can be much different in the flesh.

Navy blue and bronze / brown work rather well. I would give it a go.
