7 November:
The clearance sale has now finished - any unsold straps are back in the drawer, or off to the 'Bay.
Thanks to all buyers, and to BS of course.

Gentlemen, get ready for the Breitling Strap Extravaganza!
Update: 1, 3, 4, 5, 9, 10, 11, 14, 15, 16 and 17 have all gone.
I'll be sending the unsold straps to the 'bay very shortly, and the prices will be higher on there, so this is a final bump - if you're interested do drop me a PM - serious offers will be considered, silly ones politely ignored!
Over the last year or so, I seem to have accumulated a fair amount of what are now 'spare' Breitling straps, but I also picked a batch of NOS Breitling straps as part of a recent trade. I'll never use them all, and they'd normally end up on the 'bay, but the fees are a killer...so, with AD List and e-bay prices taken into account, I reckon I can offer up some bargains.
Some of these straps come with the old-style embossed Breitling logo on the buckle, as opposed to the newer raised logo - my prices reflect this. In case you are unaware, you can purchase tang buckles with the newer raised logo should you so desire (they're listed at £40 now) - you'll still be saving a bundle at the prices I'm asking, and can always flog the old style buckles, or keep them as spares.
The vast majority of these are new, and either totally mint, or in a couple of cases, ex-display (sourced direct from an AD). I'll put a brief description of each, with relevant details. There are a few very lightly used straps towards the end of the list, suitably described and priced.
As these sell (hopefully), I'll annotate the main list, so we know where we're at.
Some basic ground rules please: Prices stated are a bargain, and are therefore firm, and include postage by UK Next Day Special Delivery. If you're in Europe, please add £4 to the cost to cover Tracked, Insured Shipping, anywhere else please add £7. This will cover multiple purchases, so only add the extra on once.. You won't see prices as good as these anywhere, so lowball offers will be politely ignored.
Payment by BT in all cases if possible, or by PayPal if absolutely necessary - but not by 'Gift'. They don't like me using the Gift payment facility as I'm active on e-bay, so I would ask you to add 3% to the total to cover part of my fees if you want to pay by PayPal - if you send me your PayPal e-mail address, I'll 'invoice' you, which keeps them happy, and protects both of us.
To avoid bottlenecking my PM inbox, it will be much easier if you contact me direct at my e-mail address - which is bigbird1967@live.co.uk Please quote the number(s) of the strap/clasp you're after, and your BS Username.
That is also my official e-bay e-mail address, which leads leads me nicely on to References - I've a fair few on here, loads on TZ-UK (username BigBird), and I've over 1700 positive deals on the 'bay, where I'm a Top Rated seller, at 99.9%. My username on there is as here, 'goonermike'.
