any recommendations on matching up a brushed silver bezel breitling with black dial with the right strap? any pics?
will the croc look too shiney on the brushed, or just stick with the standard black leather strap?
i only have a polished bezel right now, so wasnt sure what band to put on the brushed.
thanks
mike

No, a brown croco will look perfect on your black dial Avenger.

It's the same answer with black - it will look great. One, the crocos are not as glossy in person as they may appear in pics. Two, the fact the bezel is brushed is irrelevant to how a strap looks on the a watch. I like Breitling calf straps, but an Avenger SCREAMS for croco!

I had an Avenger and frequently wore it with both. Both looked great. The croc was just a little dressier, that's all. Bezel makes no difference IMO.
