I finally received my straps. I am very satisfied with the final product. The leather is rich with texture and the quality of leather is superb. The color is rich with subtle shades and tapestry of whiskey color throughout the straps. The stitching is excellent and uniform throughout the two straps. The 22 to 20mm taper is perfect in a sense you would hardly notice the taper. Craftsmanship is highly detailed and you notice immediately it's not a production line made strap. Very happy with the product Joe. Thank you. Image

Coming from you I will take it as a compliment! You didn't like my other modification of the clasp!

This one is definitely worth the effort. I am very pleased with the outcome.

Don't ever remember commenting on another clasp, maybe it was someone else, I usually don't ever comment unless its positive. That looks awesome on the navi

It's been two weeks with this setup and I must say its one of the best modifications I could have done. The clasp is so comfortable with the custom SNPRstrap leather straps. It makes the watch more elegant yet sporty with the oversized clasp. The deployment clasp made it elegant but more formal. I have been getting nothing but compliments on the watch since I fitted the push clasp. Anyone thinking of going leather and finds the deployment clasp uncomfortable, this is a perfect fit using the push button clasp. Joe at SNPRSTRAPs has done a great job in customizing my straps exactly how I wanted it.

Thanks a lot. I hope Breitling looks on these forums and in the future adds this setup to their strap choices and clasp possibilities for others looking for a setup like this without having to get custom fitted leather straps. I can't fathom why it's only available with rubber straps. I love how it looks and every Breitling owner also feels the same that I have shown my watch to in person. The deployment clasp is just a terrible design and ruins the leather strap from all the bending and is held on by friction. The tang buckle well we all know ruins the leather strap worse than the deployment. I can't see the leather ripping or cracking for years to come with this push button clasps.

I now have it outfitted to my B-1 since I wear it more than my Navitimer. I love the comfort and look of it and might have to get another one as I like the feel and look that much Image

I just ordered another strap from SNRPStraps.com

I ordered another leather strap in a padded black color chromexcel finish. Will post pics when I fit it to the push button clasp:)
