First, hello to all, I am new to the forum.

I'm a watchcollector from Belgium and I recently purchased my first Breitling.. on a starter budget.
(older colt 2 superquartz 500m)
And... I love it, I'm hooked on breitling. :shock:

Now, this watch came on a nice leather bracelet with buckle, but I would rather go for a real one.
As I am on a budget at the moment I was looking on ebay, but the choises in lenght are overwelming.

My wrist measures about 18cm / 7 inches.
I saw a couple of nice ones, marked 115/75.

But I'm hesitating, and would lilke some advice if possible.

Thank you

Those measurements are in mm, so total length will be 190mm / 19cm. Add to that the lug to lug measurement of your watch for the total end to end length. Assuming that it's a tang buckle that should give you a reasonable tail.

Thank you,
I just found one seller who gave measurements for a 115/75 tang strap
109mm
73mm

It's a used strap so I presume the measurement to trust is the one on the strap and not the one given ?

The measurements on the back are the length of the strap in mm.
