This doesn't look like a Breitling strap.

Grain wrong, Branding wrong, sizing wrong.

Not sure about the buckle.

(With thanks to Fred for the "how to" on posting eBay pics earlier)

looks like a Tradema Breitling, so basically correct, as these were the OEM Breitling straps sold in Italy, though seller should mention this. others straps he has listed look good.

Maybe lots more than 10+ years ago! (Your showing your age now!)

Ive had my Aerospace for 15 years, its had three straps in its life and none of them looked remotely like that first one, but Im on here to learn :D

Thanks for the clarification.
