The Breitling Watch Source Forums

Hello everyone, my best friends wife has reached out to me to help her get a leather strap for her husbands watch. We stopped by a Breitling store and he did not like the standard leather strap as it was not flush to the wrist. His watch is all stainless with the flush buckle. But for some reason it will not fit we were told. So my question is what strap (black with white stitching) and what buckle will work on this watch and be flush skinny as possible. The clasp he has now looks like the image, it would be great if we can just get a strap to fit that clasp as it is super flush, i think the deployment clasp is bulkier?

Get a Breitling Tang buckle strap without the Tang buckle. Order a $30-$40 butterfly (double fold) deployant clasp. I like the ones on http://www.mywatchmaker.net . It works perfectly and is what I have always used as the Breitling deployant is too bulky and and a bit long for my wrist. Sits flush without the bulk. Never had one fail. And although it is NOT recommended, I ALWAYS pre-break my Breitling straps by carefully rolling them up and holding them for a few minutes. Works like a charm.

Any chance you can provide direct links as you have done this before? One for the strap black and white stitching and one for the clasp so i can forward that to his wife?
