Strange, as the deployant always seems to be more popular than tang. How did you make that conclusion? The only reason I can think of is that some people, even if they prefer the deployant, prefer the much lower cost of a tang buckle even more. |

Agree with aleister, aside from the cost issue deployants seem to be much preferred. |

Agreed. I'd also add that while Tang is certainly less expensive than a deployment it is certainly 'harder' on the leather particularly at the buckle point where you bend the leather and insert; not that anyone ever sees that part. Not sure one is 'better' than the other, it's really a preference. I have small wrists and I use a buckle just fine. |

There's a whole lot of love on here for the deployant.

Sorry , Ive only owned stainless steel bracelets on my Lings. With deployment, it appears that it is an "endless" adjustment. Can it be adjusted tighter than tang style?

My wrist is about 6.75" and I use the smallest hole on the tang. |

Much cheaper than buying a whole extra watch |

My wrist is about 6.75" and I use the smallest hole on the tang. One thing to bear in mind is that the surplus strap goes on the inside with the deployant and on the outside with the tang. This might affect the comfort of wearing the deployant 'tight'. That said, I've got a 6.75ish wrist and the normal size deployant strap fits fine - even though I had a bit of a saga getting one. I like to wear my watch loose and, while the strap fits differently to the bracelet (it moves less, partly due to friction), it is very comfortable and I'm more than happy. |

Yup I'm another fan of the deployant. For 2 reasons: *able to be manipulated to an almost perfect fit *looks tidier than the tang buckle BUT, the cons are *price, and *in my experience, the Breitling depl. clasp is not as secure as the tang buckle. A number of times, i've had the deployant strap (on different Lings) pop open after accidentally knocking it on the e-brake or a table etc. |
