Hey guys i'm planning on buying the Breitling Navitimer World watch with a leather strap but am still unsure whether to get the buckle or clasp....any pros and cons for each? Is the clasp easy to adjust to different sizes? Thanks in advance! |

The main pros for a buckle are that it is much cheaper, and as the metal area is smaller you're less likely to scratch it. However, with a tang buckle you have to rely on the pre-made holes for your fit and also the strap takes more damage when you take the watch on/off. That damage will reduce the strap life. The main pros for a deployant are the indefinite fitting options and that you will extend the strap life considerably. The deployant is much more expensive though and as it has a large metal area you can scratch it easier if you're not careful. Regarding wearing comfort they are the same (in my opinion) if you manage to get a good fit with the tang buckle. I would go for the deployant, every time. |

Agree with Aleister - in fact I did in your duplicate thread! Please avoid double posting, I'm locking this one. |
