The Breitling Watch Source Forums

I hate you Driver8!!!

I've spent hours on that site trying to find a combo for my Blacksteel - thought it would be easy - horn back alligator, but no - you can't have the red stitching on that.

Then I had to decide between one row of stitching or two, contour or outline, regular thickness or thicker - then I find out I can't have my choice with a padded strap, so which becomes the preferred choice - stitching or padding?

I finally make a decision - black Anaconda with two rows of thick stitching following the contour of the strap in the brightest red. I'm ready to order and then......

I realize that they're closed until September 2nd, so it would be silly to order when I still have a couple of weeks to change my mind wouldn't it!

I HATE YOU!!!!!

I aim to please!

That black Anaconda sounds really good. Looking forward to pics of that beauty........ assuming you don't change your mind before the 2nd of Sept!

That does look good. I can understand you looking at the horn back croc too as I think that looks fantastic. Shame about the lack of red stitching with the that though - not sure why. What about sending them an email and seeing if they can do it for you? It may just be that they didn't link it all up on the drop-downs......

Personally I really like ostrich leg too. Quite a unique grain on it.

I have a couple of other ideas for horn back.......

Funnily enough I found myself going through various strap options and thinking about what watch I could buy to go with it!!

Your in trouble now. I started off doing the same thing with Pams and now find myself doing that with Breitlings...it's a horrible horrible addiction.

Oh great.

To be honest I did that once before already when I found myself with a spare 24mm blue croco Breitling strap. Instead of doing the "normal" and sensible thing of selling the croco, I thought, "No, I'll buy a white dial SA to go with it!" Eventually I put a brown strap on the SA...... and then sold it anyway!
