Very, very nice. :lingsrock:
What kind of strap is that? I really like the things, sorry I forget what they're called, between the watch and your wrist.

It is a Breitling strap through a 'bund'. You can see it on ron's older watch pics as well.

Hi, Roman. The wrist pad is from a KHS "Raptor" Bund style 22mm strap. As mentioned, the strap on the Evo is an OEM Breitling black calf strap with tang/buckle. The original strap which came with the "Raptor" pad is not padded in contrast to Breitling's strap which is very thickly padded and IMO looks much nicer than the KHS strap. You can google KHS Raptor and you'll find a few sources available for the KHS straps. Some sources do not have the strap in black and some do not have it in 22mm either but a couple of sources have both black and brown, 20 and 22mm available. Below is a shot of the brown 22m KHS Raptor with its original thinner strap (not an OEM Breitling strap) attached to my B-1 and below that are a few shots of the same pad married with an original 22-18 Breitling OEM brown croco strap attached to my display back Cosmonaute. Actually, those pics will are somewhat misleading because they seem show a darker brown shading on the Bund pad than in real life. The pad is closer to dark brown than medium brown I think. The bottom pic is pretty accurate though... :| There is a current Breitling OEM 22-20 dark brown croco which might make a good match. I'm not sure the current Breitling OEM brown calf strap is dark enough to match but a visit to an AD will verify colors for you. Hope this helps... :wink:
Best,
Ron
