Hello! I just purchased my first Breitling after years of dreaming. I went with a black face World on stainless. I absolutely love it. I plan to wear it quite a bit and would prefer to not beat the bracelet up, not to mention, I like changing it up. I would love to see some strap suggestions from you guys, preferably pictures. Thanks! :lingsrock:

Welcome and congrats on the World, it's a wonderful Breitling. The dark brown croc strap works great with the black dial, although I don't have any pics at the moment. Black calf and black croco look great too IMO.
I will post a couple pics in a minute or two.

The new Breitling black rubber with the white edges will look nice on that, with the black and white dial, I know rubber isn't for everyone, I particularly don't like rubber but this strap has a calf look and is real nice

Thanks! I think I am leaning towards something dark brown with stitching. Not sure about material, etc. I think I like something like this, but not sure if it would be trustworthy or of decent quality.

That is a nice looking strap, the only thing is you don't know the quality until you own it and see for yourself. But at 55 bucks, I think it would be worth it either way. I'm going to add a dark brown strap to mine sometime in the near future.

That band looks nice, but nothing compares to the Breitling croc

Thanks for the input guys. I agree, the Breitling straps are amazing. However, at the price and my budget, they do not become very interchangeable, unfortunately.

I think I may take a shot on that one and see how I like it.

So, the previously linked big Croco is on order. I'll post some follow up pics when I get it.

I am really liking watchnut's suggestion as well, does anyone know of a decent replica of this one?
