I finally got my first Breitling. An Avenger Seawolf. I really like the chunkyness of it. It's been on my wish-list for ages and I finally pulled the trigger. I bought a handmade strap for it, which I had fitted yesterday. I really think it looks pretty good. What do you guys think?

Here's a few pictures for ya all.

I like that alot - where did you get the strap? Very chunky! Did you show the watch to the person who was making the strap - goes really well.

How comfortable is it going to be do you think, I guess it will be great when it's worn a bit, like a new pair of shoes or any leather strap really.

Great photos - thanks.

Congrats on the seawolf and welcome to the forum. You take fantastic photos! The strap looks very sharp on it, but I still love the bracelet as well. Enjoy and welcome to the forum. :D

It's the black dial version I got. I think it's the AR coating that plays a trick on my camera on some of the pictures. I got the leather strap made from a guy called Carl Evans in the UK. He makes custom straps and goes a very good job. They're very high quality and made from incredible soft leather. You hardly notice you're wearing the watch, when it's on the leather strap. Quite amazing actually. It's so comfortable! I paid £25 for the strap incl. shipping. If anybody wants his e-mail, drop me a PM and I'll gladly provide it. :)

Beautiful watch and really great pics! The AR effect is very nice there...

However, I think it is much better on the bracelet. Sorry... But, everyone has their own likings! :) Wear it in good health and proudly!

Awesome looking Seawolf! You've taken some great pictures in which to show it off.

Very impressive selection for your first LING!
