Hi Guys

So i went on the bay to buy some rubber straps for my chronospace. The guy had a few straps for sale but what made me pull the trigger and thinking it's authentic is that he also had a breitling jacket for sale so kinda made me think he was an enthusiast. When they finally arrived from the netherlands i checked out one of his feedbacks saying that it was a fake...so not too sure what to think. Hoping you guys could shed some light..

Thanks!

It looks OK to me. The most important thing for original B caoutchouc as you should know is the fact that they have no static electricity (due it's material nature) and does not attract dust, dirt and other small particles. "Replicas" and fakes in general use not natural caoutchouk, not 100% caoutchouk or not even caoutchouk at all. It's price and technology to produce are costly.. Plus they can't make it with the finish and quality of the original one.

Thanks for that...I'm new to breitling so you learn something everyday. Question how would you test it...rub it against carpet and see if it attracts dust :P

Tannee, can you share who the seller is? I'd love to see what else he has up for sale.
