Ok, so Breitling is not the famous for after-market strap choices.
I wore leather on Panerai for a number of years, and grew to love it.
Had this custom made to fit me and my watch.
Not the most purist I will admit, yet I like it.
I have a feeling you are going to love it or hate it.

Well you can put me in the 'LOVE IT' category.

I think that looks great.

It looks terrific!

I had a custom made for mine as well.

It certainly cannot let you indifferent.

But is that a scratch I see on the strap between 7 and 6 o'clock? :o

Looks good to me. If it darkens with age I think it will look even better!

Looks great to me. I'd be interested to know who made that strap for you. PM if you have time.

I like what you did with yours, but I am thinking this one will darken a bit with time. :)
And I certainly do not want to mess it up or have it turn so dark it looks black not brown.

I have to admit that I would love that watch with just about any style band but that is beautiful. I would like to know where you found it. I would not mind that being on my BB as it looks very "Breitling" in my opinion. The only thing you need to do to make it better is MORE photo's.
Best health, Frank

I think the tan strap gives your "'Bird" a classier look.
A friend has a black croco strap on his Blackbird
and it really makes the watch sing. Wear your Blackbird
in good health. :)
