New boots for the gen SO44.

Recommended Posts

Del

I bought this genuine black/yellow rubberised calf strap and buckle from Strap Daddy on RWI (who sadly is no longer trading) to give me a different look to the s/s bracelet on my gen Breitling SuperOcean 44. The idea was to use it in the summer but I've had it for months and hadn't even tried it until tonight! :rolleyes:

 

It very nicely finished and the gen buckle is lovely but it's fairly thick at the lug ends so will take a bit of breaking in, especially to fit snugly around my puny 6.75" wrist! :lol:

 

I snapped a few iPhone pics tonight as the light was fading but I'll try to take a few proper pics in better light at some point soon. ;)

Nice look, Hazz sold me his gen strap in red a while back, same design as this one. It's on my superocean 42, and I know what you mean about breaking it in. That thick strap takes some time to get used to smaller wrists.

Really nice Del, like those straps a lot..

Has strap daddy bit the dust? That's a shame.

Thanks! :)

 

I prefer the s/s bracelet too (the gen bracelet is really nice) but this is great for a change. ;)

 

@ Corv - don't know the story about Strap Daddy. :dunno:

I love it and did the same on the 42mm when I blagged a free one with the wife's gen purchase.

Prefer it to SS, nicer feel
