Rolexman Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 Gen or rep? The rep deployant sucks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emmzy Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 (edited) I hate to disagree but my rep deployant ans strap are great..............go for the deployant without holes! Edited November 5, 2007 by Emmzy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FxrAndy Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 I like deployants full stop, if it comes undone then the watch is still on you wrist and not on the floor, i know this ns not always possible but i like deplouants Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azerbyjam Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 Good quality deployant every time, much less wear and tear on the strap than you will get with a tang buckle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stagfan Posted November 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 Thanks for the info. What is the size of the strap for the SFSO? Is it 22mm or 20mm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raijor Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 I am for a deployant for most but do not like the Panerai deployants as I find them too bulky. This is just a personal taste thing on my part as I just prefer my Panerai watchers on a tang buckle. I like the Breitling deployant but prefer the generic double deployant push style for overall comfort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stagfan Posted November 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 BOB bands are 22mm/18mm, is this what I need? I heard there are also 22mm/20mm. Im confused. 22mm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andreww Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 Personally I don't like the Breitling deployant. I do like most deployants because the tend to cause less wear on the strap. The Breit buckle causes a weird bend in the strap, and ends up creasing the leather. I prefer this kind of deployant as it keeps the strap straight and doesn't bend the leather...

Richard Tracy Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 Yes,.Deployants are better for your strap, and easier for mounting & removing your watch... That said However,... for comfort,.. Nothing is better than a buckle,.. Having that piece of metal pressing into your wrist all day and seeing that indentation when you remove your strap, turned me away from deploys long ago...

Did you tried butterfly (also called double) deployment? They has the advantage to be right in the center of your wrist when they are closed, and give a great comfort. just little tricky to close and need a learning curve on how to close it (one side at a time). IMHO, they are perfect for small wrist. Better than single deployment.

IMHO, they are perfect for small wrist. Better than single deployment. I have one of these, it was pretty cheap and its very comfortable. @Andreww Have you considered giving the deploymant a little bend to suit the curve of your wrist better? Might be worth a try if you have given up on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing compares to a buckle imo.. pure leather, no metal, besides the watch itself.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
