It brings out the black dial more than the ProII, I love it.

Oh how you torture me so with this photo! :cry:

I dream of this watch these days!
Great shot by the way..it does bring the black dial out.

dbniner, don't take acceldebt seriously.

He's been around here since the start and is the guy behind the 'Full Ling'. He is well known for being a bracelet guy and delights in playing devils advocate on these things.

If you look back to the first year of BreitlingSource there was very little love of rubber straps. Then along came the OR and opinions immediately moved to 'wow this is great, so much better than the Diver Pro'. This has now evolved further to the point where the Diver Pro is becoming a more popular strap.

I have a Diver Pro for my BlackSteel, my wife has an OR for her SOH, but to me, rubber is still a niche market.

Thanks Roff,

Now I guess I'll "Bend" and keep an open mind and go out and buy my girlfriend some Diamond Ear Rings that hang from Rubber Bands because she likes to swim.

Just looking for your guys thoughts! For those of you who love your Lings on either the OR or DP black rubber...what's your favorite Ling that is complimented by the rubber strap?

I feel the avenger series looks best on rubber. I have yet to fit a metal bracelet on any of mine!

It's a great watch and one of the most masculine(sp) Breitlings imho. I got one and never looked back.

Straps are bad enough but RUBBER, give me a break, No true LING man would EVER allow his LING to be DEGRADED with a RUBBER strap. I need some help here from the other older guy's like Driver8 and Roff. Quite simply Rubber is for TIRES !

when u have a job in proffesional sports, rubber works great there is my professional opinion. i dunk my arms in hot tubs, cold tubs ice buckets wrap ankles, and the last thing i need is it scraping on the skin of somebody thats making 10 mill a year. so its perfect.so if i want to wear rubber then i cant have a breitling? thats what your saying right? wee its a pretty dumb statement seeing that everyone has different likes and dislikes.

ok u got your shot in i accepted your opinion and what roff said but no reason for your last comment. i get it you like the bracelet well i like them both. have a good holiday. and as for the swimming comment it was a good one but you scratch a proffesional baseball player and god for bid he gets infected for some reason your out of a job.
