Exactly how does that rubber clasp work? Does anyone have some explaining pics? Could be interesting to see...


Here's a not-so-good pic of the underside of the clasp. On the underside of the clasp, the rubber strap is captured in a piece that can move inwards and outwards. The piece is spring loaded and presses against the toothed portion. You can just make out the "PUSH" wording on the moveable piece, that's where you would push down to release tension and allow the piece (and the strap) to move back and forth. If you look carefully you will notice that the teeth are angled inwards; because of that, to tighten the strap, all you need to do is push it in. I hope that explains it, sorry if I am unclear.

On a side note, I just realized that the rubber strap still has 2 open holes on each side. Those that know me, know that my wrist is really small (6.25" - 6.50"), but the Ocean Racer can still get smaller. I thought it was funny that the strap can be made small enough to fit a woman or child, when Breitlings in general are much too big for anyone with a wrist smaller than mine.

Again -- Congratulations on the SA. It is a great looking LING, and the black strap is a great addition to an already perfect setup of a timepiece!
