Hey, does the proII rubber strap work well on a chronomat evo? What do you think? (Pics would be good too!)
Thanks!

I am suddenly interested in that as well. I looked on the Breitling Source site and did not see a listing anywhere for the Pro 2 strap and deployment. Maybe I overlooked. How much is this setup?

I think it would look very good, that's the good thing about the Chronomat Evo, it can be dressy with a nice Croc strap or sporty with the Pro 2 Rubber.

I've recently ordered a diver Pro2 rubber strap with a brushed deployment clasp from AD - £330. Not cheap but from what I've seen I think the micro adjustment feature is superb.

Rubber belongs on tires or to make balloons not on LINGS

Rubber straps are awesome on lings!! Reasons to the contrary are most probably from those who haven't tried them. Especially if from an OEM strap.

Actually,

That one Sharkman has here doesn't look too bad on the rubber. A friend of mine has a Ullyse Nardin Executive Dual Time on a rubber strap and they make theirs very nice but I still prefer that watch on the Croco strap they offer.

Sharkman,

I can see it for diving or if you had to wear a LING in adverse conditions but Breitling makes the best looking bracelets and Croco straps out there so I stick with those. It took me 6 years to even come around to wearing Croco straps and that came about when I got my Bucherer Patravi Traveltech. It came with the Bucherer plain leather strap so I took a LING strap that came with the late Naviman's Nav World and had the Bucherer clasp put on it and had it installed on the Bucherer. I decided I liked it so last winter I got another one and had the Ocean racer clasp put on that for the Bentley. Now I switch the Bentley back and forth but I won't be moving on to any Rubber straps.
