Del 4,463 Posted February 4, 2011 I decided that I really wanted the rep Breitling brown croc strap for my white SOSF (thanks to Baldrick for showing me the TTK photo ) so I contacted Reg and he sourced it for me in Thailand . (Arrived in the UK only 5 days after posting, including a weekend .) I must say that this is superb quality for a rep strap - the leather is thick, well padded and yet still very supple. It is a friction fit so a little bit different, perhaps not ideal for my stupidly thin wrists, but it still tightens enough for me to wear it so no problems there. The clasp has a lovely Breitling logo on the outside and is engraved on the inside too, and the strap is stamped on the inside with various Breitling wording. Now to the photos...

Luthier 1 Posted February 4, 2011 Gorgeous!!! How much, and... will it fit 8" wrist? Congrats, looks great! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Del 4,463 Posted February 4, 2011 Gorgeous!!!How much, and... will it fit 8" wrist? Congrats, looks great! Thanks Luthier. £25 delivered. Not sure about an 8" wrist - rough measurements are 90mm/110mm for either side of the strap. My wrist is about 6.75" and I've got about 1.75" tucked through the clasp. Hope that helps .

Baldrick 1 Posted February 4, 2011 Now that's what I'm talkin 'bout Nice photos, but you need to address the colour temperature, your photos are too warm. hope you don't mind p2035052v2 by Hugh_Jorgen, on Flickr p2035061v2 by Hugh_Jorgen, on Flickr p2035047v2 by Hugh_Jorgen, on Flickr p2035046v2 by Hugh_Jorgen, on Flickr Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Del 4,463 Posted February 4, 2011 No worries Baldrick . The photos were taken pretty quickly last night about 11pm, obviously under artificial light - not my preferred situation! I didn't even play with them on the PC. I should have waited until the weekend to take better shots in better light but I just couldn't help myself . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
