I think you've definitely made the right choice of watch to put it on. It's got a real "dive-look" about it in the same vein as the Omega orange rubber on the Ploprof. Still not for me personally as I'm a bit traditional (read "boring") on my strap colours. :oops: I'm all blacks, browns and maybe a blue if I'm feeling REALLY wacky! :wink:

But I will conceed it looks better than I was expecting. :thumbsup: Congrats again on a great deal!

I really like it - the red is not "brilliant red" as I had expected & this is a good thing. Looks better on the watch than off imo - nice choice.

thats is correct, its not as brilliant as pictures often show it, being a not a very strong color

thanks for your opinions, i note they all are sincere

hoping to have some more

The red is definitely not for me - I'm way too old fashioned, but as Driver8 notes it does really add to the dive look.

I think the red / black combo also works very well.

I wonder how this would look on my Red Chronomat? I did not realize Breitling made this strap in this size... I really want to see how it looks on my chronomat but I can't bring myself to take off the pilot bracelet.
