Here I Navi 01 on a Navi as well as the Breitling mesh bracelets for comparison.
I think it looks quite "hot" on the mesh

Hi all Just picked up a Navi 01 on a standard black calf leather on tang I'm not a fan of tang and managed to pick up a pretty good deployant for around £50 on the bay. It's not breitling but for breitling straps and have since bought a black croc on the bay and looks pretty good however I'm not satisfied A while back I bought a leather croc for my omega broadarrow and the brand was Officialtime and the quality was amazing and looked like a muc more expensive strap than it was and lasted about 3 years of daily wear. However this company don't do nice ones for Breitling and was wondering which brands or sellers do superior quality straps for around the £50 range?.. Also I bought a replica 806 mesh bracelet for about £23'as I'm keen to see if I like the mesh look for the Navi as I haven't seen many pics of a Navi 01 on 22/20 mesh. Any ideas hints or tips? |

Well if you put a GBP23 bracelet on a multi thousand pound watch......... |

I would rather wear the standard calf on tang, than put a cheap alternative on the watch. I have black calf with deployant myself and wouldn't want it any other way. Maybe you can look for a second hand Breitling deployant? I've already seen them on this forum. |

I will stick to my black croc on deployant. I managed to pick up a deployant from my AD who regularly retails for around 20% less than MSRP. I really wanted the mesh to work and see if I liked it before splashing out on a breitling mesh bracelet. I like having a bracelet for every watch but the navi bracelet doesn't do it for me. May just have to settle Any tips on non breitling straps that are up to scratch? |

I'm guessing you've seen the Navi bracelet up close? I'm surprised you don't like it. It's a work of art! |

I think it looks quite "hot" on the mesh It was your picture that I found through google image search that got me to buy the mesh in the first place! I just think that the Navi should be on leather as it is not really a sports/ diving watch. I'm going to try some brow croc on it and see how it looks |
