The Breitling Watch Source Forums

I am looking for a new bracelet to give my F75362 Aerospace a more modern look. It's original two tone bracelet is the old style and I think a solid black band would fit me better, I prefer a deployment clasp and the strap needs to be waterproof so that narrows down my options.

I went into the Breitling store today and their 20mm rubber deployment bands start around $380, unfortunately that is more than I am willing to spend. The salesmen recommended I check out strappedfortime.com and I think I know what I want for a total of about $80, but before I pull the trigger I wanted to run it by you guys and see if there might be some better options out there.

I'm looking at their 20/18 carbon fiber strap: http://www.strappedfortime.com/shop/ite ... -strap/54/

With a 18 mm steel deployment clasp: http://www.strappedfortime.com/shop/ite ... clasp/303/

I have never purchased or installed a watch strap or clasp so I feel really uninformed in this decision. If someone knowledgeable could offer some guidance on making this upgrade to my new watch i would really apreciate it. What other options should i consider in the $100 range? Thank you!

Just for fun, here's some pictures.

And here's a shot I took of it with the rubber deployment in the Breitling store today:


I'm loving the black strap, to bad I couldn't bring it home with me!

No love at all....
