A quick rummage through the spares draw has unveiled a few Breitling straps that I've had for a while, and need loving homes...

The pictures are a good representation of the condition, but I've noted brief details of each strap.

OHPF Strap 1 (Pics 1-4): Breitling Black Croco 22mm (22-20) 740P. Lightly used, very light creasing on upper, though surface and contrast stitching are very good. Some discolouration on underside, looks like a dye bleed rather than anything DNA related. Hole 4 is a little stretched (not torn/ripped). Keepers are good, slight fluffing to front edge of fixed keeper. Polished Tang buckle (raised logo) is excellent, negligible hairlines at worst. I've got some OEM Spring Bars already in place on this, so they're included. RRP is £480, this can go for £175 (RMSD included).

Strap 2 (Pics 5-8): Breitling Black Leather 22mm (22-20) 435X. Very light use, minimal creasing, upper surface and contrast stitching are excellent. Note there's a very small 'depression' on the upper surface, just below the fixed keeper - it's black on black, and I only noticed it when taking a 'macro' picture of the buckle (see Pics 6 & 8), but for full disclosure etc etc... The underside very good, minimal signs of wear. Hole 6 has a little stretch. Keepers are excellent. Polished Tang buckle (raised logo) is very good, tiny swirls and hairlines, nothing nasty. RRP is £160, this can go for £85 NOW £75 (1CSF included).

Strap 3 (Pics 9-12): Breitling Chocolate Brown Leather for Deployant 24mm (24-20) 444X. Certainly the most used of this little lot, but still plenty of life in it. The upper surfaces are very good, colour seems fine, standard creasing from deployant, but no loss of colour. The contrast stitching is still pretty good, though certainly not as bright as when new. The underside is a good colour, but has 'crackling' to the lining - however the strap upper leather is good, not torn, and the edges are fine. RRP is £120, this can go for £40 NOW £35 (1CSF included).

Strap 4 (Pics 13-17): If Strap 3 was the ginger-haired stepchild, this is the star of the show. It's a brand new Breitling Mid Brown Croco strap, 24mm (24-20) 754P. It's absolutely brand new, and has only been taken out of the sleeve to be photographed. The Tang buckle is high-polished, the raised logo style. RRP is £480 - no AD will offer you a 30+% discount on a strap, but I will - this can go for £330 NOW £300 (and with RMSD included). My crap camera skills make the strap colour look slightly more 'red' than in reality - it's not a huge difference, but it's probably a shade more of a 'wood' brown than the photos would have you believe....

If 2 or more straps are purchased, I'll discount for combined postage. Overseas shipping is no problem, and will be at cost (Tracked/Signed).

I've loads of Feedback on here, I'm a 'Top Rated' e-bay seller (3700+ deals, 100%, username 'goonermike'), and I've got plenty of Feedback on TZ-UK ('BigBird'), so there are no worries there.

I'd prefer payment by BT. PayPal if absolutely necessary, but I can't accept 'Gifts', so you'll need to add 3% for fees, at least on the Croco straps.

If I've missed anything, you'd like more info or pics, please feel free to PM me.

Cheers!

Mike

A final bump on these, with a price reduction - they'll be off to the 'Bay after the Easter Holidays...

Cheers,

Mike
