Bought this genuine deployant and blue shark strap on the bay for £34...tried it on the B1....what do you think??

(will probably get a black calf strap to go with the deployant though the blue is quite striking)

That's a great bargain for the strap alone, let alone the deployant! Nice one! :thumbsup:

(I must be honest though - I'm not totally convinced by the blue sharky on your black dial B1..... :? )

That is a VERY good deal on that strap and deployant no doubt, but I am not too fond of the blue with the B-1. I'd get a new strap for it.

I'm afraid I won't be joining the "Blue Shark B1 Club" any time soon :wink: but you did get a heck of a deal on the deployant. Love the B1 though!

Tony, I agree completely, but the price I paid was very cheap for the deployant buckle alone, Think of the band as free!

I've already ordered a black calf and black croc strap for the watch...should look ok on that :wink:

The Bay in Scotland carries Breitling products? Here they dont carry anything of that caliber.
