Can anyone tell me what the price is in USD for an Ocean Racer strap that will fit a Steelfish? I think it's 22mm. Also, are all the Ocean Racer straps deployment style? I would prefer deployment.
I saw a picture posted by Carlhaluss of the Ocean Racer strap on a Seawolf. I have to say it looks great. I think the round elements of the strap would compliment the round numerals on my Steelfish.

Thanks

Hey Steelfish,
I actually got the Ocean Racer originally for my Steelfish. It looks great, although the Steelfish now has the original PRO II, and the Ocean Racer is on my Seawolf, as you saw. Here is a link to a post in the Gallery section, with your Steelfish on an Ocean Racer strap:http://breitlingsource.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=2832&p=20414&hilit=steelfish+on+ocean+racer#p20414

The Ocean Racer strap with deployment is $410.usd, and yes they all come with deployment buckles. You are right, the round holes on the strap look great with the round markers on the dial.
IMO, the Ocean Racer is the most comfortable of any strap I have worn. Because it's rubber, you can wear it a bit loose, and the watch still does not slide around on your wrist. The clasp is marvelous, just make sure that your AD adjusts it properly at the beginning, so there is enough play both ways - to tighten it , and loosen it. Mine was made too tight at first, so I could only loosen it a little bit. They have to actually cut some of the rubber off when they adjust it, so have to be very careful. My AD is great, though, and they ordered the rubber part and replaced it no questions asked.
The Ocean Racer looks good on just about any model. The only ones I would not put it on are the Bentley models, though.
Enjoy the strap!
Cheers,
Carl
