As I mentioned in an earlier thread I am about to purchase my first Breitling Navitimer, with leather strap and deployment buckle. I just need some advise. I am just regular medium build guy (5'8") normal weight etc., but I have narrow/thin wrists approx 6.5" in circumference. Can anyone advise if the strap with deployment buckle has infinite adjustment to cope with the narrower wrist, or would I be better with the standard pin buckle.

Great if anyone out there has this experience. Thanks.

The deployant has way more adjustment on it, and personally I'd ALWAYS go with a deployant for that reason (oh and the fact that your strap will last longer too....... and the fact that it'll make your watch look better as well IMHO!)

:yeahthat

I always prefer deployants on the thinner straps, much more elegant IMHO. For the really thick straps though I like something big and bold like a PreV.
