Hi all, New here having recently purchased my first Breitling. Wasn't sure if the novelty would wear off shortly afterwards but am happy to report I absolutely love it! A little treat is when the rotor oscillates seemingly under its own steam shortly after my wrist becomes still. Feels like it has s life all of it's own! ![]() I bought a Navitimer World White dial on brown buckle strap. The AD agreed to (along with a discount) throw in a blue strap which I think will suit with the blue 24 hr numbering. The brown suits well also but choice is a great thing. ![]() In future I'd like to purchase a deployant clasp, could anyone confirm the model number, or image of the one I'd require for an original strap which would also be purchased. One might ask why I didn't push for the deployant style strap on the deal at the time of purchase. Unfortunately I wasn't aware of the differing clasps, buckles but can imagine the tang buckle wearing the strap fairly quickly. Can/does anyone recommend a product to ensure the best life of the strap? Apologies for all the questions! Quick pic: ![]() Kind regards Leon |

Welcome to BreitlingSource. No model numbers to deal with on deployants, you'll just need a 20mm deployant to go with the 24/20 strap - deployant style straps have no holes. Just be aware that deployants for leather are very different than the ones for rubber. Leather style here - http://www.breitlingsource.com/strap_fo ... yant.shtml, rubber here (with Ocean Racer, but clasp style is the same for all of them) - http://www.breitlingsource.com/strap_oceanracer.shtml. I'm no aware of anything that you can do to reduce wear to the holes on a tang strap. |

Many thanks for the heads up on which clasp is needed. ![]() Regarding strap care I meant more prolonging the life of the whole of the strap. Kind regards Leon |
