Pictures will be up as soon as i pick it up!! I decided to go with a black Croc band since i will be wearing the watch casually, and only sometimes with a suit!
I ordered it from"la swiss" in Toronto

Geoff - welcome to Canada. Now you get why I always ask you how long it takes to order stuff in, because Breitling Canada doesn't hold inventory so it takes weeks... or months!

Not really true.

For a start there is no such thing as Breitling Canada. the distributor is Grigoros which is also the owner of La Swiss. Rather than keep stock at head office they push most of it out to the La Swiss stores, but because the corporate model is to have the stores compete with one another the managers of most La Swiss stores refuse to send stock to other stores because they want to try and 'steal' the customer instead. As a result the store managers don't even bother trying to locate stock from other stores and go to Grigoros who order direct from Switzerland.

Canadians know there is no "Breitling Canada" but if we were to write "Grigoros" then 3/4 of this board would have no clue who/what we are refering to.

La Swiss is not the only Canadian AD so even if there were La Swiss stores that did pull from others, the other AD's do not have access to inventory except for they have on hand, unlike in the US, or most other parts of the world.
