Changed to Croc from metal and what a difference.
love it so far.
Just like to share the looks with you guys

Looks great. I kept my silver Avenger on a brown croc strap 90% of the time. It cuts down the "bling" factor, and that cream colored dial is just screaming for a brown strap.

I agree with you that looks way better with leather IMO.
However, I've been wearing for 2 weeks now, but deployment is not very comfy yet.
I might have to go for tang

Understated beast! Nice.

That croc makes it look like a million, Its amazing how just by changing the strap gives you the look and feel of a new watch. Congrats and enjoy. Steve

I can't even wear the deployant anymore. It's so uncomfortable. I'm pissed because I just bought a brand new one to give it one more try.

You guys need to ask Sharkman where he gets his deploys. He has the same problem with the OEM Breitling one being uncomfortable, but he has another source he now uses that I think he is very happy with. I believe he pays like $40 for them.

He gets them from here

Your avenger looks great on croco. Is that brown croc or gold btw?

I thought about getting gold too, but I ended up getting brown.

In my opinion croc refines most watches one notch up, especially those with sporty genes, but also is the least practical/comfy of all in summer! I might try to fit the Air Racer on my BB for July.
Otherwise your Avenger looks best like this. On most pics it looks more gold than brown though. Maybe you were thinking of camel??

For clarity, the Breitling "browns," Brown = medium brown, between tan and dark chocolate; Gold = tan, it is a very light brown; Camel = almost yellow but with tan tones.


BTW, your SA looks great on the BROWN croco.

Even though that is when they're new because my gold is now closer to brown than tan. That is why I chose gold because the brown would have become closer to black with wear.

I do disagree however that deployant is not comfy. Since I tried one, I wouldn't change it for the world. But that's just me.

@ WannabeBreitling: Not only it's a big difference from metal but IMO it's one of the best combos.

I agree with you. Croc is my best combo so far

If you don't mind my asking, what did you pay for that strap? I was quoted $800+ today and it sounded a little crazy to me.
