shotgun1 0 Posted September 19, 2013 Hi, I was interested in purchasing an aftermarket leather strap for a breitling navitimer and had come across BOB straps. Would anyone know the difference between the normal calfskin collection and the marino calf straps they offer? what would people recommend ? many thanks.

Navichief 84 Posted September 19, 2013 I've had a couple BOB straps, normal calfskin and croc patterned leather. I can't say I was satisfied with them. Padding is NOT Breitling standard like they claim, its too thin. Personally the closest padding to OEM Breitling I've seen are the rep calf straps. They aren't perfect by any means, but not bad on the wrist. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ask a TD to get you one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shotgun1 0 Posted September 20, 2013 Have been told by a well-established local jeweller this morning that Breitling leather straps and some Patek OEM straps made by Puccini ..not sure as to the validity of these claims! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ronin007 0 Posted September 20, 2013 Totally disagree with comments above ,have 5 gen leather straps and yes there good but not cheap,have also a couple of bob ones and are very good value for the money,personally thought the rep were shit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Luc717 0 Posted September 26, 2013 Hi shotgun, from what I could tell the more expensive ones were slightly thicker on the edges and more squared, thus more true to the gen Only place I have found a picture of the thicker strap (so far) is here: http://www.rwgforum.net/topic/149122-sold-breitling-navitimer-world-blue-face-needs-work/?hl=%2Bbob+%2Bstrap+%2Bbreitling Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
