alant Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 Hi dear all, may I know is it true that the black leather strap that comes with the Navitimer replica is not nice? And I saw a number of feedback that Bob straps for the Navitimer is excellent. Please advise. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbell6 Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 Hi dear all, may I know is it true that the black leather strap that comes with the Navitimer replica is not nice? And I saw a number of feedback that Bob straps for the Navitimer is excellent. Please advise. Thanks. I'm not sure exactly which black leather strap comes with the Navitimer Replica. However, there is a newer (its been out awhile) deployant leather replica strap with croc pattern that is pretty nice. I received the brown version today and I am real impressed with it. I purchsed mine second hand, but I think several dealers carry these straps for around $50 (it comes with the deployant buckle) . Maybe someone familiar with both the Bob straps and the newer replica strap can give us a comparison. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andreww Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 Not sure which strap you have, so I'll assume that its the old strap. As the previous poster stated, the best, most accurate strap right now is from our dealers. It is very difficult to tell it from the genuine. The Bob strap was the best alternative, until this new rep strap came out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pix Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 Hi, I'm thinking of getting a Navitimer and dress it with a black SFSO leather strap, which is really great. For this, the lugs size should be 22... Anyone confirms ? Thx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alant Posted July 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2007 Hi andreww, may I know how to find the dealer whom you mentioned that carries the newer rep straps that are close to the genuine ones? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixbennetts Posted July 14, 2007 Report Share Posted July 14, 2007 I've been researching Navitimer deployants recently. I've emailed all the dealers to find a rep calf, (meaning leather, not croc grained), Breitling marked deployant for the new deployant buckle. All that seems to be available are the older ones with the holes. Angus at Puretime just emailed me saying, "I saw the strap you need on the watch maker's desk! Which means we will have the strap soon." Here's hoping! Donny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
