Are you a strap or bracelet fan on your Breitling??

[Mystro]

Breitling is such a beautiful watch that it looks as good on a bracelet as it does on a rubber dive strap. Not a lot of watch designs can claim this. The last few years I have preferred my watches on a strap for comfort and adjustability. I still like the look of the bracelet as well but am curious how many other Breitling owners have migrated their Breitling over to a strap most of the time??

I've had my Superocean for a few years now and never thought about trying a rubber strap for it but will definitely consider it now after seeing yours. I think it looks great!

Did yours come with the watch or did you purchase it separately? If so, where did you buy it?

I picked up the Pro 3 rubber strap after I purchased the LEBB. The Black Bird was sold on either bracelet or rubber strap so it could be considered a oem look from Breitling. Breitling rubber straps are softer than others but very high quality.
I see higher end watches on rubber strap growing more popular each year. Its happening on all brands of watches including Rolex and they dont even offer a factory rubber strap.



Just get 1mm longer springbars for the strap over the bracelet.

Thank you for the info, I appreciate it. I'll definitely be picking one of these up for this summer..

I've been looking at a Colt for a while now, and there are a couple blue straps that look great. I think it may be my beach watch for 2017.

It may sound stupid but bracelets tend to match whatever I happen to be wearing, once I put a leather or croc strap on a watch I find myself trying to match it with my shoes and or belt! Bottom line, no clear cut favorite for me! Today it's a braclet!

Bracelet for me. Occasionally I'll sport a NATO band or a shark mesh bracelet, never a dive strap. I see guys saying, "This is the ideal summer strap", about their Isofranes. Not for me. I find them sticky and sweaty.

On my Chronomat 47 GMT I love the bracelet. It's a work of art. If my Chronomat evolution doesn't sell then I'm going to buy an OEM breitling rubber strap with clasp. I'm not a fan of any aftermarket straps as they all look cheap to me

Always been a fan of straps on all my watches. Much more comfortable and classy looking. I've owned over 60 watches To date and other than maybe 2 or 3, the rest went on straps right when I got them. My duo right now are both on leather straps and I don't see it ever changing.

Fantastic duo Odat, two of the best looking chronographs of all time.

I tend to prefer straps and natos are a nice change as well.

I've worn my Colt GMT on NATO straps much more than the bracelet.
