Hi all

My Pro II is taking a bit of a beating on the underside, so thought I'd try something different to give it a break!

Please let me know if you think either of these straps look any good. Alternatively, any other suggestions would be very welcome.

Steinhart croc:

B.O.B carbon effect:

...and back on the Pro II:

Many thanks

Well IMO you can't beat the Pro2. The carbon fibre suits fine but the croc is definently not for me on that watch. You should try an Ocean Racer rubber band, I think they come in just the black and blue shades now. The new Diver Pro 2 looks good too!

Cheers

Brown croc doesn't do it for me either. Carbon looks fine or black calf (smooth) leather would be OK. Bracelet looks best IMO.

I don't like that brown leather combo, the carbon... hmmm.
As andrew said, the ocean racer will look great with that watch, and the diver pro too.

The brown croc doesn't look good at all, reminds me of deer jerkey. The pro is the way to go!!!

If you have problems with scratches on the bracelet, just hitit with a scotchbrite - it will be new again.

The pro 2 looks the best. I'd put it on a rubber diver pro strap before using either of the other 2 options.

Maybe I'm weird but I kinda like both of them. Which one do you like?

Haha, deer jerky???

I do like the croc strap, but just not on this watch.
Scotchbrite hey, thanks for the tip!

How much am I looking at for some rubber then? And does rubber strap & pretty hairy wrists mean as much pain as I'm thinking?

Cheers guys

The DPII with a Tang buckle is around $110 here in the states, I'm not sure about the UK. Now if you want the OR with the deployment buckle, that's gonna be a bit more, around $350 or so, I forget.

Another vote for the Pro II here as well. For some reason I'm just not a fan of aftermarket straps on Breitlings.

An OR strap will set you back about £55 from an AD, a deployant strap to go with it will be around £200! Not sure what a buckle would cost but probably in the region of £50, I'm sure someone will chip in about that!

Cheers
