WOW, I have had my Steelfish for three years plus and never thought to put it on leather. That really looks sharp. Thanks for the great shots and inspiration. I will be trying the leather treatment this weekend.
Best health, Frank


IMO leather (or croc) gives another dimension to watches and suit most. It makes the watch stand out much more than with a bracelet. But that's just me.

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. :D

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.
