I'm seriously considering putting a croc strap on my Chrono Evolution (currently have a TT). Does anyone have pics of what that might look like? My Evo has a blue face and I think the Dk Blue Breitling strap would look great. What are the prices out there for croc and leather? As always the people in this forum are in the KNOW.........

TT Chrono Evo on a brown croco strap looks very very nice, I would go for it for a change of pace or if you want to bring the bling down! Though its my opinion that the Pilot II bracelet is the very best bracelet there is and it would be a shame not to use that.

I'm not a huge fan of straps, but I DO like croc skin on some watches! A black croc strap with your blue face would look nice!

I can only speak about strap prices in the UK, but I guess they will just double them for dollar prices (unless it's just rip-off Britain again.... which it probably is!) -

Croco strap - £300
Leather strap - £75

Then you will need to decide on a deployant of buckle clasp as well as they don't come with the strap -

Deployant clasp - £175
Pin/tang buckle clasp - £15

I've got a blue croco with deployant on my Navi World (with a blue dial) and personally I think it looks superb. I reckon it's worth having one in your collection just for a change from time to time.

I'd go with the Blue Leather or Blue Croco.. The leather will give it a softer look.. i think the Leather actually looks better on the Evo, but Croco definately has more class.
