skjalg Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 Hi guys, I am considering getting a thick juicy black strap for my SS Chrono Avenger and been looking at ebay. So hoping somebody with experience with this could tell me if this straps looks good: http://cgi.ebay.com/BREITLING-GENUINE-22-B...1QQcmdZViewItem I dont expect it to be genuine though, the important thing is that the strap is thick and juicy, and by the looks of those pictures it looks very solid.. Or perhaps this one is better (cheaper also): http://cgi.ebay.com/20-18mm-Bull-Leather-S...1QQcmdZViewItem Not sure if the chrono avenger holds a 22 or 20 mm strap but I will measure before buying. Thanks for any feedback on this! Oh, BTW the SS chrono avenger with AR ROCKS!! Skjalg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andreww Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 I'd stay away from both of these. Look at PureTime's dealer section under the Chronomat Evolution. He has a strap there that he sells separately, that looks to be a bang on copy of the gen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skjalg Posted January 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 Thanks for the tip! Just PM`ed him.. cant really see on the side there how thick the strap is. Anyone know? Hopefully this one will fit my chrono avenger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully this one will fit my chrono avenger if you want a nice, thick strap, another consideration would be a 22mm BOB sportivo (intended for panerai, and notably thicker than breitling straps) -- i have one on my chrono avenger and it looks sweet. pair it up with a polished OEM style 22mm buckle and you've got a great combo. i went with a caramel sportivo; you could also do black of course (i've posted pics of both below). dt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might go for this one: http://cgi.ebay.de/LEDERBAND-VON-BOB-SPORT...0QQcmdZViewItem I am not so sure about how to get a buckle - will they all fit - just go for a 22mm OEM buckle, thats it? (lots of them on ebay).. Anywhere to get both the strap and buckle in one buy? Edited January 25, 2007 by skjalg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deltatahoe Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 BOB straps are sold here on this forum (see the dealer section here and the post regarding the sportivo straps here). send them a PM and they will likely give you a deal on both a strap and an OEM-style polished buckle. dt Thanks dude!

skjalg Posted February 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 Thanks for the help, since I wanted the Breitling logo on my strap I bought one from puretime which came in today and it looks great! Went to a watch dealer to get it replaced but he didnt have the right tools (can u believe that) to remove the steel bracelet and wanted me to go to a authorized breitling dealer.. couldnt see the rep I guess . So I have to try myself to stick something into those litle holes underneath the bracelet to release the pins.. there is really not alot of space there but will try later and perhaps add a pic so you all can see Just for the record, is it hard removing the bracelet on a chrono avenger?

Watchmeister Posted February 12, 2007 Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 I am partial to the chrono on blue rubber diving strap with matte finish buckle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b16a2 Posted February 12, 2007 Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 Looks very nice! Breitlings do seem to look at home on straps!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
