Yeah, that's a great combination. I think the black strap really brings out the watch face even more. Very nice.

Looks great, and does bring out the black dial even better!
I actually like the Diver Pro in some ways better than the Breitling leather straps. While they are excellent, well-made straps, even though the taper is the same as the Diver Pro, they appear a lot narrower. They put the white stitching so far in from the edge of the strap, that it gives the illusion of being quite narrow when, in fact, it is as wide as the Diver Pro. I got my Seawolf with a Diver Pro, then put my Ocean Racer on it, now a Breitling brown leather strap. I have ordered an aftermarket leather strap for it, with no taper, and no stitching. Until that arrives, seeing your pics has tempted me to put on the Diver Pro. Even though the Diver Pro tapers down from 22mm to 20mm, it hardly appears to have a taper.
Anyway, well done. My reply seems to have turned into a rant about Breitling leather straps. :roll:
cheers,
Carl

I agree with all of the above. I picked up a diver pro for my black SOH. I throw the mesh on every once in awhile but soon go back to the diver pro. I like the sporty feel it has. :lingsrock:
