I want to thank the members of this forum for helping to cultivate my new and pricey addiction! You have been helpful with my newbie questions over the last week or two and I thought I would show you how your advice paid off...

Now I'm thinking Blue Ocean Racer with deployment clasp. I think black might look bad with the blue face...thoughts? Do they make the Pro Diver in blue with deployment clasp?

MANY THANKS!
G

There seems to be no known cure either.

Looks great!

Personally I'd keep the bracelet for anything water related, and use a leather or croc strap for everything else ;-)

Maybe have a look online for some pics with it on a brown or black croc?

Great watch.

Addiction! What addiction? You're not addicted, YET! :D

Try a brown strap. Always looks good with a blue face. :drool:

Agree with P51. Try a dark brown croc or calf strap to mix it up. The bracelet on the SA is always going to win over any strap option though.

Totally agree! It is the beauty of the piece and exquisite engineering - a genuine Breitling makes you feel something :lingsrock:

People who wear counterfeit watches, do so for the benefit of others.

Definately an addiction, about a year and a half ago I bought my first breitling, a used chrono evolution MOP dial a few months later i sold it and purchased my first super avenger which I fell in love with and that's where the addition started now my breitling collection consists of 5 Super Avengers and 2 navitmer worlds a white dial and a blue dial, and have many 24mm breitling bands crocodile and calf skin to interchange. All super avengers were purchased with all pro 2 bands. One world i got with pilot band. Will it ever end?
