Playing around with straps and tried a shell cardovan red stiched strap on my Datora 785! Still think the brown croc strap looks the best on the watch but the black strap on this one makes it nicely pop..

San, could you put it back on the croc, please ?
I have hours of technical and moral support invested in this Datora,
hate to see it suffer. :wink:

Lol, thanks Fred, lings4life, guessed so, I had a similar comment from a mate here who had seen it on the brown croc earlier so thought would ask an opinion again out here, will take it off ASAP and keep the strap for the red sub for which it was orig custom made:)

While I (and I am sure others) appreciate that you were able to make the change without sending 26 PMs about the decision, that look is hideous.

When i first saw this thread there were no replies. I decided to keep quiet so as not to hurt feelings. Seems like no such scruples affected the others! I agree; no comparison with the croc.

How can you stay silent in the face of a Breitling suffering so much?
