I know there are a few who hate a breitling on anything else but a bracelet! But I do love the look of the white dial on a brown strap. I already have an Black dial Evo on a bracelet, and I think it's one of the best looking watches I've seen. But I wanted something alittle more casual, and more of a contrasting look to that of the Evo. I've seen the watch at my AD and love the look, anyone have any pics of a white dial SA with a brown strap? Just so I have something to look at while I'm not at my local AD! I did a search but didn't come up with anything.

Thanks,
Mac

I have this very watch, Mac. But as I've only just swapped him over to the brown croco I haven't got any pics yet. I'll see what I can do later today, but I can't promise I'll have the time today. :( When I do though, I'll be sure to post them.

Thanks Driver8. Whenever you get a chance, I'd love to see the pics. I found the pics you posted with a Blue croc strap, looked great. I think thats what is so great about the White dial, you can put a number of different strap, bracelet combos and each one gives it a different look.

You're right there Mac. It looks great on the blue and black..... but I'm seriously pleased to have the brown now. It looks great! (Don't think I'm going to have time for the pics today though).

Hi dadicroce,
This is the only pic I have thus far posted of my white dial / brown croco SA - http://www.breitlingsource.com/phpBB2/v ... php?t=2603

Not the greatest photo, but I hope it gives you some idea. I must try and take a couple more but as you may have guessed, photography isn't my forte! :?

:lol: Decisions, decisions, eh? Well in my humble opinion I've always liked the brown croco with the lighter coloured dials, but let's be honest it's pretty hard to make a Breitling look bad anyway! :thumbsup: (Unless it's a light blue sharkskin strap on a black dial B1, eh Doc?!?! :lol: :wink: )

I like Brown straps on a white dialed Ling, but for a black dialed Ling I go for the black straps every time... for some reason I find it hard to get really creative with Breitling Straps... Panerais seems to been a lot more forgiving for strap style.

I agree 100% regarding Breitling strap options, Admin, BUT personally I'd extend it to the Pannies as well....
