Get a pro 2 and dlc coat it so you can be a badass

Hey guys, I pulled the trigger on a 5094 from a member. Knowing how crappy rep straps are I was wondering what my strap options are?

They are available but not with the metal bracelet. The best thing you can do is lurk the sales forums.

so has the daytime lume colour issue been fixed? iirc it's meant to be white in daylight, not a greeny white

How dare people ask questions about what they are thinking of buying?! the bastards!!!

Here's my 177L. As you can see the watch or the Donerix sharkie it wears are not afraid of the water.

Love the Tudor.

wow what a great community and story, enjoy the 1665! Starting to wish I didn't sell mine

hey guys! I'm thinking of picking up one of these bruno simonas, I love the look. But they are certainly not cheap. Can anyone show me a picture of theirs? if they are on a titanium watch that would be a bonus.

I should have clarified; I go to the gym on monday, wednesday and friday early in the morning, and then go straight to university for the whole day from there. Often I end up going out with friends after university, and I don't return home until the morning! so I wanted a rep that was tough enough for the gym, but also looks very nice for the rest of the day and night. I already have a g shock in the stable, a passarella death squad limited edition. It hardly sees my wrist because the way the rubber sits hurts my wrist

Thanks for the suggestions guys. I thought the heritage only came in automatic? If that's the case then I don't think it's for me; I already have an auto chrono in my skyland. I already have a couple of quartz 'fashion' watches, that have leather bands. So even though I love the navitimer I wouldn't buy it. I'm actually also saving wherever I can for a sinn automatic that looks a lot like a navitimer. Having said that, what about the chronomatic navitimer? The one with 2 panda subdials.

Hey guys the other day I was playing football (soccer for our trans-atlantic cousins), with a 7750 rep. The rotor came loose. I had to open the back and reattach the rotor. I'm looking for a quartz rep (cheap, reliable, comfortable) to wear in the gym and to time matches and workouts. Ideally the gen will be quartz too ( I know it's a big ask). Should have a bezel or chrono function to time workouts/games.

177, black shark.

Upo today!

nice try, Bill.

very sad news. his designs are the best.

You can't go wrong with a skyland. I have attached a Pic of my v3. I'd shop around or go to an 'indie' dealer. I got mine for 180 bucks from sead. The v2 comes at a premium because of the bezel and the ar coating. But the dials and lume jobs on the v3 are generally better.

woof* is that a gen dial? How does it compare to the mbw dial?

Wow that lingman has no taste at all. Thanks for the responses guys. My bob strap came this morning and I am very happy with it. I modified it slightly to take a gen diver buckle.

Finally got a leather strap!

yes, a £400 strap for my £130 rep. i'd sooner spend that money on a gen 93150 for my franken 1665! or 2 more nice reps or 3 very nice dirks for my 177. How do breitling get away with charging such extortionate prices? I guess no one wants a £4000 watch on strap that costs less that £50 per square inch of leather/gator/whatever Also, I don't want to be a douche, but I posted asking for non OEM leather strap options, and pretty much everyone says "OEM IS BEST!!!!1!"; it's a very typical attitude i've noticed on the forums; it's a difficult one to put into words, but i feel it is somewhat alienating to newer members (myself included). That's just a little rant i had to get off my chest. I don't mean to bite the hand that feeds me; I value this community just as much (if not more) than the next guy. i'll always have a special feel for the forums

What do you mean bad colour? I hope you don't mind if I take that with a pinch of salt, as you do sell straps yourself.

Upo today

thanks. ive ordered a bob caramel calf!

hey guys, I have an avenger skyland rep that i have stopped wearing as the pro 2 broke, and i'm sick of the ocean racer (it was for a 24mm and i cut it- the minor imperfect cut bugs me), and my pro 1 rep rubber is really stiff. can anyone recommend a good non-oem leather band to put on it? some pics of your skyland on leather would also be nice.
