Great pics, I love that brown croc strap. Sergio threw in the brown calf when I bought it, that's the main reason that it's on there now, but the calf is also a bit more casual whereas I see the croc as more dressy. I'm more of a casual type person, but I do want a black croc strap.

Anyway, looks great, I need a new camera.

I was wondering is this the brown croc strap or is it the gold croc strap? I can't tell from the pictures....Also I'm wondering what do you guys think about this combo but on a black with silver subs Chronomat? I'm trying to picture it in my head....

It's the brown calf, not croco.

For the Chronomat, try using the breitling.com configurator for the chronomat. A brown croco (or calf) would look just fine - IMO. Black too. Gold, not so much.

[quote="sharkman"]It's the brown calf, not croco.

Hey Shark....I was referring to the second set of pictures towards the bottom of the first page. Looking at it again I am pretty sure it is brown and not gold

Great looking Bird. If mine was brushed I might have kept it on the bracelet, but it's polished and it was a bit too shiny on the bracelet for an everyday look for me.
