I ordered some other straps, saw the red one and thought it was worth a try. Let's just say it didn't work as planned.

i dont see anything wrong with after market straps. afterall a strap is external. its not like you are messing with the internals of a watch with aftermarket parts.

Totally agree (but a pink strap does deserve a bit of ribbing).

Breitling straps are very good no doubt about it, but they are also very expensive. Most (in my exp.) aftermarket straps are cheaper and nowhere near as good.
ABP straps are less money and certainly as good if not better.

yup thos ABP straps do look like good quality. i know most of us are sticklers for OEM parts. But in some cases after market is as good if not better. I know you guys hate the car comparison but i have to use it (cuz it supports my statment..hehe). look at what Brabus is for Mercedes. Maybe in this case APB is the brabus of straps?

I just do not know what it/they are. In the UK a Bra is underwear for Gals and a bus is public transport.
