They are not cheap but the quality is outstanding IMHO and they go so well with the excellent Breitling deployant clasp, although the clasp does leave a slight indentation where it sits on the wrist. :? I think I prefer this to the bracelet..... 8)

Blackbird on black croc is a perfect combo. I have a brown OEM croc on buckle and love it. Just wish I had a black one for my Chronomat GMT44. I am not a big fan of the price, but they are great quality. Your pics are awesome, thanks for sharing. :)

The irony of it is that Breitling makes some of the best bracelets out there, but more and more I'm with you, I now prefer the strap look on most Breitlings. Particularly with the amount of polished surfaces on Breitlings, the strap is just right.

I like the look of the leather straps. However, for me the bracelets are more comfortable especially in warm weather. I have a Navitimer on a black deployment and it doesn't ride on my wrist properly and I need to have it adjusted so loosely it doesn't fit properly under a shirt cuff. I also have a black croc tang style which fits better, but I feel they are a little too stiff and I just prefer the bracelets. But I still put the leather on once in a while to change up the look.

I bought my SA a week ago and I had them put the Black croc with the deployant clasp on there but Im sorry to say I had to return the strap the next day due to the gap you spoke of on the underside by the clasp. My gap was so large to the point to where I could slide my thumb through the hole =(
