The Breitling Watch Source Forums

Looking into getting a strap for my silver navi world from ABP. Thanks to jnelson3097 for mentioning them, so many great looking straps. Can't decide what color to get first. Anyone have any wrist shots of a navi world on a few different color straps. I like some of the crazy colors they have, but for my first one I should prob get a color that goes with most stuff. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

Thanks watchnut. I like that purple one a lot. What color do you wear the most.

You will probably need two colors - black and brown/gold.
Both will go well with the white dial and will match most if not all combinations of clothes you might wear.

Black and burgundy mostly, I bought that purple one on eBay, it said it was burgundy/purple in description but it is definately purple, I wore it once.

That's what I thought, black and brown seem to be the most versatile. Tanks for the guidance guys.

Have any of you got a strap from ABP? I like the ostrich leg strap a lot, it is something different yet still looks simalar to the croc strap. They give you about 5 options for the padding and thickness. Will the strap fit on a breitling deployant? What is the length of a breitling croc strap as they ask for measurements.

I have a number of ABP straps. Don't work on lengths of Breitling straps - do it properly and measure your wrist with adjustments for the watch that you want the fit for, that's the advantage of custom. If you want to use a Breitling deployant they will be more than happy to work with you to adjust the padding so that it tapers to wear it needs to go through the deployant clasp. These guys know their stuff!

I measured my wrist, but being that the bottom strap is longer than the top not sure the individual measurements. Will they figure it out if I just send them my wrist size. Do I have to send them my deployant that I plan on using so they can fit accordingly? This is my first time buying a custom strap.

You can tell them what lengths that you want the two ends to be so that you can have the deployant exactly where you want it to be the most comfortable - you don't have to use the 'standard' lengths. If you don't have a Breitling strap to hand then try one on at an AD and think about whether the clasp would be more comfortable if it were in a slightly different location on your wrist. The short side length will affect position, the long side affects the amount of tail that you will have.

You don't need to send the deployant - they know what a Breitling deployant is like.

Thanks for the info.
