Fooling around with some different straps today and thought this combo worked fairly well for work wear.
Normally, the yellow Superocean sports the rubber diver pro or a Pro 1 bracelet but today I tried a shark strap on a few of my regulars and I took a liking to this setup. (also worked well with my Tudor Sub)
I think It goes well with the pictured sharkskin weapon rig.
Any opinions? (be nice, It's my first gallery post) :lol:

Thanks,

And yes, 26 years of law enforcement in already and I may go a few more before I pull the pin. :shock:
I have to keep working to afford this watch habit.

Haven't seen any Breitlings on the wrist of any police officers while being pulled over for driving a little to fast. Do you wear your Superocean while on patrol? I hope you would give a fellow Breitling owner only just a warning. :lol: Nice pictures.

nnik,

Being a Deputy Chief I don't get to make many motor vehicle stops but I do wear the SuperOcean on duty. My patrolling usually involves inspecting the troops rather then traffic enforcement. But I still do enjoy the occasional MV stop :D and I usually just issue warnings.
BTW- I do see a lot of high end watches in the area.

I don't see many criminals wearing Breitlings but when they are it usually doesn't belong to them! :roll:

I currently rotate 4 Breitlings -

SuperO
Chronomat/UTC
Aerospace Rep/Min
Chronospace

I'm trying to find an older Blackbird to add to the rotation. I like the brushed finish at work.

Yeah - nice combination Dave - the yellow with the black and the texture of the sharkskin.

I'm using my sharkskin on my B-1 at the moment.

Have you looked into a Galuchat (stingray) strap? Nice texture for a change.

Have a look here.

Sharkskin as well as rayskin are great choices for anyone needing a super tough band or belt.
The pictured sharkskin gunbelt and accessories have been worn for 7 years and don't have a mark on them!

I've never seen that combination before Dave, but I must say I really like it. Very sharp and masculine looking. I have always had good luck with sharkskin.....darn near bulletproof.
