Hello !

Just recieved my new and first Breitling watch a superocean chronograph however i ordered a leather strap as the metal braclets tear the hairs out of my arms and its very short. At the moment im on the last hole in the strap i do have pretty thick wrists but its pretty much unwearable.

is there a version of the leather strap that i could purchase from Breitling thats longer or does anyone have any suggestions at all please?

Thanks in advance:]

Shane

There are three lengths - short, standard and long. Sounds like you need a long.

thank you and thanks for taking the time to answer. where would be a good place to buy one I have researched and cant seem to find anywhere in the uk that will sell them. Do Breitlings always come with a medium strap then? im a bit annoyed about shelling out another £300 for a strap .

Also can I change the strap myself or is it recommended getting a jeweller to do this?

Thanks

Best place is to talk to an AD, lots of fake straps in places like eBay. You'll be able to sell the other strap easily enough as it's virtually new and recoup most of the money.

Strap changing is easy, just buy yourself a Bergeon 6767F for under GBP300 and follow the instructions here - http://www.breitlingsource.com/video_ar ... p%20Change

Looks like a mistake, one too many zeros there Roff.
Technically though 30 is under 300 :-)

No idea what my hands were thinking - in my mind it said GBP10 :roll:

Senility I guess!
