Besides the obvious blue, what strap would look good on a blue SA? Part of me feels only blue would look ok, but does anyone think a different combination would work?

Black goes with any dial colour, and some will also say that brown leather goes with blue dials as well, but the jury is still out on that one! I've come round to that colour combo recently incidentally.

Best bet is to check out the "Fitting" section on the Japanese Breitling site ( http://www.breitling.co.jp/fitting/ ) where you can try different combos on screen.

I will probably buy the "tan" strap with deployment on the for sale forum. However, there is no tan color listed. Only brown and gold. Is the strap pictured on that thread really the gold?

I have a blue baton SA which I fitted with a brown strap. It stayed on for about 20 minutes. I dont think I have the picture of it left, but I can assure you that it looked hideous.
I have seen some blue/brown combinations that have looked OK, but the shade of blue that the SA dial has just doesnt work with brown.

If memory serves me right I think that In2deep said that it looked like "someone who put on his clothes in the dark" ,or similar, after seeing my picture of it.

Very nice strap though on the right watch... currently it is on it´s way to a watch somwhere in the middle east ;)
