I agree that looks great.

Just a shame straps have to effectively be custom made due to the extremely limited adjustment on the OR clasp.

Yes - very nice, a good look.

Any one know how much adjustment is available on the OR? How close a fit would a custom made strap need to be?

Thanks for the pics Armchair Pilot.

Aleister - I didn't realise you had done something similar - must have missed that.

It's roughly the same as one bracelet link.

Now that is nice, well done. I like it much more than the OR - I know this is heresy around here, but the OR hasn't quite won me over yet.

I'm sold! Very custom looking and very nicely done. I personally wish that Breitling made a double clasp option for their deployant, something similar to the Panerai deployant. Thanks for sharing the pics and it looks great!

:) Thanks for the comments guys. For the record, I took the exact measurements for the strap from my Ocean Racer rubber strap which I had already cut down to a comfortable size for my wrist. I also made sure that the micro adjuster on the clasp was half way along its travel, which allows me to adjust the tension if necessary
