I am thinking of swapping my montbrilliant DATORA bracelet for a croc with deployment. Thoughts? |

You're mad. Seriously why don't you just buy a croc with deployment? They're not half as expensive as the bracelet. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Not mad at all if you prefer the look of the croco over the barcelet. Just one thing worth remembering on the cost front :- straps should really be considered as consumables to a certain extent. i.e. they will only last a few years (depending on the frequency of wear, etc). Therefore while the up-front cost may be half that of a bracelet, you will have to replace the strap numerous times if you keep the watch for number of years. In contrast you should never have to replace a bracelet under normal circumstances. If cost is important to you then this is worth considering. |

Mad? definitely not. I know part of wearing a Breitling is the Town-clock Bling, but a watch does not need to 'Clang', or put your shoulder out wearing it. A Montbrilliant is more than plenty, I say less is more, even for a Bretling owner. You can ignore me though, my particualr affliction is the Aviastar... and it has to be worn on a plain strap, or it starts to look er... silly. |

Thanks gents, fair points re th straps being perishable but.....the bracelet is just to in your face. I just think my watch looks a lot classier and classic on a croc. |

Mad? No. It's really down to personal taste. I'm a strap man because I find a strap to be much more classier. It also makes the watch to stand out. Again, IMO. Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2 |
