I've read many rave reviews about Rob Montana's straps, however i've yet to purchase one.

Looks like the price would be about $200 for the strap your after...$230 if you want a Breitling Buckle.

The only thing i dont like about the Breitling straps are the dimensions. The way a 24x22 Breitling Strap tapers in my opinion just doesnt look right on a Super Avenger. If they offered the straps in 24x24 it would be a different story.

No such thing as a Breitling 24/22 - they're 24/20.

I have one of his straps and I am happy with the quality, although it's a pain in the butt to get on and off. I don't think I'll buy any more from him simply because I prefer ABP, but that's a different price point.

Again, I've never owned one, but I've heard good things about them.

Good looking straps. Not too bad price wise if you already have a deployant.
