Timepiece Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 OK, so the light brown rep strap does not have the colour of choice for most of us. And we do want it to look more like in this artistic pic: But, what would be close in colour and style? Here are some suggestions. Please give your reaction or better your best suggestions!!

UB7 Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 (edited) Hey there, looks good! I suggest looking @ bob's breitling straps they are pretty good quality - or just buy a gen strap they aren't that expensive, about $150 or so and you wont regret it, breitlings leather straps are amazing - some of the best feeling leather i've ever worn..Here's my gen skyland on bob's honey tan gator..hope this helps! and here its on the gen strap that it came with..IMO it looks much better on black leather Edited July 28, 2008 by UB7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jot9011 Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 3rd one from the top middle picture looks pretty close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UB7 Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 Yes it will fit gruva but thats a fake leather strap, be careful 90% of the breitling leather straps on eBay are fake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timepiece Posted July 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 HKTAN also has this 'distressed weathered' brown leather strap. But maybe this look is too vintage for the Skyland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiki_hr Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 This is artistic pic. The gen strap is looking like this... Sorry for bad pic... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timepiece Posted July 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 The gen strap is looking like this... I would like this darker colour with fresh white stitching!! Now where to get a gen strap w/o difficult questions on serial number or having to show the watch to an AD... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dabal Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 you probably want to get 22/20 straps, so you can put a Breitling buckle on it. that hirsch strap dont look like 22/20.. ? not sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magagne Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 HKTAN also has this 'distressed weathered' brown leather strap. But maybe this look is too vintage for the Skyland It's the strap that is use on the Avenger (titanium) of Leornado Dicaprio in Blood diamond movie. If you want a "rough" look, or a "dockers/casual" look, it will fit perfectly IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magagne Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 Find this on ebay, pretty close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daytona4me Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 I have asked petergunny to make me one up and surprise me. I like a slightly distressed strap on this model. There are nice selections above but I have grown to love hand made ones. Now... off to find the buckle! Good luck on your search. I'll do some pictures of mine once made and received.

skjalg Posted September 5, 2008 Report Share Posted September 5, 2008 Here is pics of my chocolate brown BOB strap for my V3 skyland I think the strap looks great and not too far off from the gen colour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwhitesox Posted September 5, 2008 Report Share Posted September 5, 2008 UM Just buy the gen strap from your local dealer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoganX3 Posted September 5, 2008 Report Share Posted September 5, 2008 GREAT THREAD! Exactly what I have been looking for. PAMs straps are easy... Breitling straps you really gotta dig deep and look for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulw Posted September 5, 2008 Report Share Posted September 5, 2008 For a Breitling go with a gen or if you want to save some bucks go with a Bob(waccex.de) There seems to be a culture of acceptance to use an after market quality on a PAM. On a Breitling only gen or a Bob seems to be acceptable. But hey, you can always do what ever you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deniz21 Posted April 23, 2010 Report Share Posted April 23, 2010 this would look awsome on a white dial skyland is this realy the bob honey tan gator ?? or is it the redbrown one from bob?? cause it looks so dark..honey tan looks lighter or not? can someone confirm this please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toadtorrent Posted April 23, 2010 Report Share Posted April 23, 2010 Thumbs up for the gator option on the Skyland. I've never been as big a fan of the smooth leather Breitling options...croc is slick!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
