B-1 Blue Shark

Here is my B-1 with the blue shark strap and deployant from doctor diesel.

Thanks John and it was really good to meet you earlier - thanks for the deal on the stuff too - I'm more than happy and I think it looks really good as a change from the bracelet from time to time.

By the way that is one serious 'ling you had on - WOW - lovely bit of kit!

So - hopefully this will keep me happy for a while and give me time to save up for a Super Avenger - and also give me time for the body building courses to be able to wear it without a counterweight on the other wrist!

Now that really works!....the shark strap really suits the dial

wish you health to wear it

best wishes and we must have that pint soon

ps, better get your SA soon before they go and ruin it with the new stick indicator dial!..........

I agree with the Doc, that really does work! (Soooooo much better than with your black dial Doc! :lol:

)

that looks awesome!!

I found this picture online and think this is going to be my next Breitling....I really like the Kevlar strap.

Glad that Shark found a blue dialed B1, they are nice combo.

Thanks guys - wearing every day at the moment & still stealing glances when no one's looking!

paddymac - that looks really good too - happy hunting for your B-1. Blue or Trad Black?

I also have a Blue Galuchat (stingray) strap which I'm going to try on my B-1 - will get cracking and post a pic or two to see what the verdict is.

Breitling Bloke, i think i will go for the blue dial. Both the shark skin and the Kevlar strap look so nice with the blue dial. It will also be a nice change for my SA!!!

Great - good choice for the days you can't cope with the weight of your SA!

The Kevlar certainly looks good with the blue face.

For some reason the B-1s with a blue face seem to be less expensive too - a bonus for those who prefer that.

Happy hunting.

hi -

I have a 1995 Colt Automatic that came with a blue shark skin strap. Exact image below:

The strap just broke due to wear and tear and I am looking to replace it. Breitling says they don't do the shark skin straps anymore. I hate shiny bracelets and my only option looks like a regular navy colored leather strap which doesn't really match the dial. Does anyone know where I can get a blue shark skin strap like the original I had. Many thanks.

Nice Colt by the way! I love the blue faces.

Thanks a lot. Looks like it's going to be Bob for me. It's not original, but definitely looks better than a navy calf...

and thanks for the compliment on the watch...I love it
