If I didn't already have this I'd be all over it! This shade of brown looks great with all dials. GLWS |

OP, I am in no means an expert, but when I compared your strap to one of my own it would appear that yours may not be genuine. The reason being that the "Manufacture en Suisse" is not on a straight line and the Breitling symbol on the shorter strap is not proportioned properly. Did you obtain this strap from a AD? |

Fakes don't have 'Croco' but 'Cuir' embossed on the inside ? |

The most common mistake is to print "Cuir" on the back with a Crocodile print on the front. However, with those who manufacture such items they learn from their mistakes! Other mistakes also include the number of stitches used in sewing the strap, the printing on the back including but not limited to font, size and how the printing lines up. A telltale sign is the unevenness when "Manufacture en Suisse" is printed. These are just things I have learned since I bought my first Breitling and are by no means comprehensive. |

I certainly hope that is not true -- I purchased it off the forum! What makes me feel okay about it is my AD (who I have purchased many watches from) did not say anything when he first put it on for me. Not that it is an exact science -- but it also feels really, really great and no different than when I tried on others at my AD. Will consider removing from forum shortly to do some research. |
