I got up this morning and decided that having 2 Breitlings on a Rubber Strap was overkill :roll: (I had to justify my new purchase)
Image
So off I went to the AD and.... to my AMAZEMENT a Black Crocodile strap (22-20) just happened to be in stock :D LIST price was $480 CDN+tax :shock:. I told the salesperson that I had 400$ (tax-in) and he agreed! Did I actually get a good deal? (280 U$ (final price)
If not, it doesn't really matter cause I like the transformation!
The watch looks much more dressy...just in time for XMAS :D :D

Sorry for the rough pics....

That does look good. If you are happy with the deal you got, then you got a good deal :lol:

The more I see of these, the more I think that I should order some straps from ABP - problem is that sucks the watch budget!

My AD said I would be better off with the white stitching (probably because Breitling doesn't make red)...he also said the white stitching goes good with the white numbers...
Personally, I find the red stitching gives the watch a sporty look; I was looking for something a little more dressy..... and an authentic Breitling strap as well....

The Croco looks good! Is that a dreaded scuff mark I see around the 35 rider tab marker? :cry:

Looks good, I got the same strap made from ABP just with red stiching.


Both look good yet very different, will be posting pics soon.

Hmmm

Not totally sold that the BS IS a dressy watch. I think mine is totally a tool/action sort of model

I was the fool who brought this strap to everyones attention on the BS, I had one 2 days after my BS arrived.

I cannot tell you home may mails I've had regarding it.

That has to be the best possible strap for BS models.

Personally, I think the corco loos a bit too dressy for that watch, the red on the other strap dresses the watch down perfectly.
