I've recently acquired a white face w/ batons SA on a bracelet. The bracelet is amazing! In more ways than one! lol...We all know that they scratch smudge etc very easily.

I dont really want to fork out the $$$ for the OEM Leather Straps..
Where/who can I find some nice good quality replacement straps?

Im looking for black/contrast stitching and brown

As for the Deployment Clasp, I'm assuming there is no substitute right?

Can someone educate this noob!!!


Thanks all!!

Happy Holidays!

Camel Crock strap on deployant will probably look real nice. I am about to snag one up soon. 8)

As for straps, Breitling OEM straps will only touch my Breitlings.

Hi everyone

I've been lurking for a while and have finally taken the plunge with my 1st post :D

I'm about to purchase a SA (white dial with batons) but am not sure whether to go with a brown croco strap or the bracelet on purchase. I've no doubt i'll end up with both at some point but not initially. Does anyone have any thoughts on which is good for every day wear? I'm thinking the bracelet for special occasions where the extra "ling" factor might look good but croco strap for toned down every day use...

Thanks in advance from a breitling noobie :D

KG,

The sensible thing to do would be to buy it with the bracelet and then buy the strap as it will be cheaper than buying on leather and getting the bracelet later!

Hey superduperguy29, I expect an aftermarket blue alligator watch strap with a very interesting tang buckle in the next couple of days. I will post some pictures here in this forum for review. Most people aren't big fans of anything that's not OEM, I say it’s worth a try at least. It could be a great look? Take care.
