The Navi on rubber doesn't really do it for me but I'm of the opinion that you should go with whatever you like, not what everyone else likes. If it works for you then go for it! :thumbsup:

That OR strap was just experimental at the time. I put it back onto OEM calf before selling it on

For any Breitling:

1st choice - metal
2nd choice - leather

17th choice - rubber, that's what my 9 year old daughter has on her Baby-G.

Just my personal preference.

/Wessa.


As said, taste is personal and you cannot argue about that.

But just because your 9-year-old has rubber on her baby-G doesn't mean you can't have one on a Breitling. Maybe not on a Navi but on a Steelfish or SA it's more than perfect.

Pass on the rubber and save it for the sheets with your loved one...

Leather / steel is the way to go on the Navi!

I don't care much for rubber, but it's got one big thing going for it -- there's none of that annoying contrasting stitching.



Some prior post by Acceldebt (AKA "Lingman") and subsequently me established those contrast stitches, on a black strap especially, can be "removed" with a black Sharpie. Sounds silly, but it is simple, fast, and permanent. Really surprised me when I tried it on a black croco. Took less than 5 minutes and I was amazed before I was half way through.

I do like the DPII rubber, not much of a fan though of the OR.

Funny, I remember a couple years whe a member posted he was going to get a Chronomat on rubber and everyone was telling him not to do it. Now we see it all over. Seems to be a combination of the simple look of the DPII plus the admiration for the deploy.

I don't see me ever putting a rubber stap on a Navi, but who knows!!
