Steel or leather?
While waiting for the new link to make the bracelet long enough to wear regularly thought I'd try a Black ling style on it....looks pretty nice with the black croc I think.

Looks nice for a change, but that particular watch just screams steel....at least to me. |

I like the leather for the contrast; the bracelet makes the look a bit monotonous for me. Do you know where to get a band like that for a Breitling, with the black stitching? |

Thank you very much. I just don't like the white stitching on the Breitling and all the aftermarket straps I've seen. |

I see they're out of the alligator (except for short), unfortunately, but it's a start. Now to find somewhere that has colors other than black, without contrasting stitching. |

I also vote steel but the leather does provide a nice change once in a while. |

There's a guy on TRF that makes and sells end pieces that fit between the lugs to give leather straps an OEM look. They would finish off the watch perfectly. |

That does finish it well. I am going to look into that. Thanks! |

I love it, I'm not a big bracelet fan, though I do like the way it looks on the bracelet also, but I love the option of switching out between the bracelet and a strap. I'd love to see it on a brown strap too. |

I prefer a strap to most steel. I seem to always have to change up my watches with differant straps. |
