Mine are all shoved into a Breitling chocolate box, with rubber, 22mm leather, and 20mm leather, and "other" in separate zip lock bags. Until your post I was under the illusion of being organized. :guns:

Nice collection Kiudog!

Since we're on the subject of straps, there's a question I've been meaning to ask. How big is the difference between the gold croco and brown croco straps from Breitling? What would look better on a black dial CSO?

Quite a difference. The gold is tan and the brown is.....brown. IMO the tan/gold strap is right with light colored dials and the brown looks perfect with dark/ black dials. I have often worn the black dial CSO on a brown croco. Looks perfect.

Yep, seen a few but at least those definitely looked less saturated, more beige-like. All the other colors seem totally realistic so I assume it's my monitor settings :michaelangelo: With two-tone or yellow gold case I believe it'd look fantastic.

With use and time, it acquires a patina that looks more yellowish.. When it was new it was more beige hue..

Great pics, and definitely a great looking color. I actually doubted a bit between camel and dark green to replace the brown croc on my brushed BB but finally went for the latter. Glad to see you own one as well! After all, crocs are green :wink:

My personal favorite has always been that red OR, maybe because I find it so unique and unusual. It's a real pity that it has been discontinued. :(

Ironic given the colored rubber bezels they have now.
