I know there is a lot of mixed feelings with none OEM Breitling straps here. I saw this blue alligator strap and could not pass on it. I thought the tang buckle was very unique as well.

I like the strap, but that clasp is a bit too weird even for me. ;) Nice pics!

The strap looks okay, but the buckle is disgusting. How dare you degrade that SA!

I will only go with OEM straps. 8)

I think it looks great, and aligator makes a nice subtle difference to croco.......... BUT I must be honest I'm a stickler for OEM straps on Breitlings more than any other brand for some reason.

That strap would look fanstastic on a Panerai IMHO.

I must admit, when I saw the title of your posting, I thought the SA with croco or alligator strap would look hideous. Anyway, I actually think it suits it very well. The strap is really nice and wide, and not too tapered. Being that the SA is so large, the large buckle is very suitable to me. I really didn't think that combo would work, but now I think it looks great! The size and width of the whole strap suit the SA very well, I actually think better than the Breitling strap would.
Cheers,
Carl

Looks good man, is it a Heroic 18 band and VENZO buckle? Eitherway, I like them both, I will be slapping the same buckle on my C/A. NICE.
