I really love my pilot bracelet especially in summer, but I'm thinking to try Diver Pro Strap for my Cockpit Slate Gray.
(Actually I'm pretty impressed after seeing bling88's picture of Headwind + Diver Pro; http://breitlingsource.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=2675)
Do you guys think this is good idea? How do you think of that? Will it look more sporty?

Oh, and if there is someone who tried that already, please upload some pictures!

You'll never know until you try. Actually I didn't mind the headwind on the dive pro so it would be interesting to see your combination.

The reason why I'm asking this is I can't try it before I buy and get it.
I mean, there is no AD here. So I should order it first. :(

And so, here is an another small question; Any suggestion to buy the strap online?
I considered on ebay but still not sure due to some replicas found on ebay.

Go ahead! Nice with some change and you can always go back to the bracelet later!

I'd have to agree with Damian 100%.

Personally I really dislike tang and buckle straps so I've never been a fan of the Diver Pro. (In fact I think that strap is the single main thing that put me off the Blacksteel.... and there is no DLC alternative).

As has been said on here before, the Ocean Racer is basically a rubber bracelet, so I'd definitely go with that if I was you.

Ocean Racer was on my list but I'm not sure that there is any ocean-racer strap for 20/18mm size(Cockpit). :? I couldn't find any information about 20/18 ocean racer strap on net.

In addition, I'm still searching reliable seller on net.. so any recommendation for not only straps but also seller would be appreciated. :wink:

You're right. I don't think it comes in that size.

If I were you, I would buy the Diver Pro strap now, and if they ever do release a 20/18 version in the future, then you can buy one at that time. The straps/bracelets can always be changed.

You just have to go to your AD and order it. I had an OR for my SO a few weeks back, and that's a 20/18.

IMHO Windrider series is too distinguished to put it on a rubber.

Well, I made up my mind a few days ago when I found several scratches on the pilot bracelet and finally got it today.
Obviously the pilot bracelet is more elegant and more beautiful but the rubber strap look cool as well.

Above all, I like this piece of rubber just simply because now I'm free from any concern about scratches.
The pilot bracelet is the most beautiful one I've ever seen but simultaneously it is the worst durable one, especially comparing to the bracelet of the Tag Heuer Link.

I'll try to post some photos of my cockpit with the rubber strap soon.

Thanks for your opinions!
