The Breitling Watch Source Forums

I have found a strap and deployment, only problem is hat it's 24-20...has anyone ever tried squeezing a 24m strap in 22m lugs or am I being even madder han before?

Cheers

Not gonna fit, and I personally would not want to spend the coin to get a strap that is not the proper fit. If you post a WTB thread you will most likely fins someone looking to unload the croc strap you are looking for.

Good luck

I've weaseled a 21 into a 20mm lug, but the was a relatively thin and pliable JLC or IWC strap. A 24mm Breitling strap will not fit a 22mm lug width. Have you considered the many strap makers who make "Breitling Style" straps? You can give Jeanna at stonecreekstraps a try. She will make on that comes with a bi-fold deploy or can make the pieces for the Breitling deploy. About $200.

Or given that you have a higher end Breitling - Datora right? - just give the watch what it deserves - a nice new Breitling OEM strap.

I agree...an OEM strap just feels right especially for such a good looking watch. The two tang crocs I have purchased through BSource users have come lightly used and been under $300, which is a bit easier to swallow than retail pricing.

Cheers all, Im looking for a slightly used one and have contacted a few stapmakers too.

will post a WTB

You will be able to find a used one - they come up here fairly often
