Nice to see this thread pop back up. Still not much warm weather here, but a bit of sun from time to time. Come on spring! Tomcat you are right about the car and I only get it from the wife when it is raining, cold or she needs to take the dog somewhere. It is a lot of fun to drive.
Frank, part of what attracted me to the fish was that I thought with a leather strap it could be a bit more dressy. I think it looks pretty good on that ligher brown, I have black calf on today for a change after a couple of weeks on black diver II. I got an aftermarket brown croco and blue shark skin which was fine for testing the waters, but the stitching on the Breitling straps are so nice I don't see the cheaper croco/shark making it on the watch much. My wife says the steel bracelet is still the best, but I like to change it up. I am getting pretty good at changing the straps. Taking the bracelet off is still the most challenging.
