Newdoc Posted October 5, 2008 Report Share Posted October 5, 2008 I need some help. I got the awful rep croc strap with deployant. Not only is the quality no good, but the deployant is so big it doesnt sit on my wrist right.... Problems: I can't stand the mesh strap I don't really want the oceanracer, but I may end up going with it. I really like some Red12 straps and I may get a new deployant too. I remember seeing someone had put a PAM ss bracelet on it, and Im considering that. Helllllllp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newdoc Posted October 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 No help?..... I have to get mine replaced; the rep croc is stinking up my wrist and an eyesore as it has worn down a little. I am prob gonna get a new double deployant, but may not. Im really looking for something waterproof, understated but still unique. I have considered some of the Panatime straps even, but they are a little too casual. Might get a black carbon fiber or black calf with red, blue or green stitching. probably won't go for calf or other leather though b/c it could damage with some of the chemicals i work with. I might have to get two... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephane Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 I really want Rubber now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckeye Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 I have my bronze SOH on a honey Bob gator with buckle that I got on the BAY...much nicer than the duo that comes with it. Also bought the cheapie mesh one for about $20. Both are a great improvement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeff g Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 The rep leather strap and deployment clasp are crap. Terrible deployment..really uncomfortable. Suggest a Breitling standard buckle, way better, on any nice 24mm strap. I am still waiting for the OR. But I must say that after seeing the Heritage on the link ss breitling strap, I am really stoked. Looks great. Where does one find the polished ss link bracelet (rep)?

Toadtorrent Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 I think the problem you have with the rep deployment is the problem with deploments in general. Because they are a pretty big piece of rigid steel..they want to sit flat on some part of the wrist. If your wrist isn't the right shape or size, then the watch may shift a bit and not sit centred right on the top of the wrist. I'm happy with my 22mm Skyland deployment and rep strap. The strap feels a bit rubbery, but is getting better with wear. Tang buckles are probably the most low profile on the wrist and may be the most comfortable, but I love how easy it is to put on the deployment. Yaron appears to have had a bad OR deployment...but others like Lani seem to have received good ones...so as usual, hit and miss a bit with the rep stuff. I too like the SS shiny link bracelet on the SOH. You should check out the Links section, and HKTan's gallery for strap ideas. He's had a tonne of skins on various straps, and can make whatever you need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raymo Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 Some more shots of the SS link bracelet on Heritage... I've had it on for a week and find it really works. Particularly if you don't like the mesh. But I'm kinda like the mesh also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newdoc Posted November 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 Very cool, although I'm not a big fan of the diagonal links on all these breitling reps. If there were a square link one like breitling makes in 22mm I might go for that. I think I'm leaning toward the rep oceanracer, though. It's a little casual, but the black on black is dressy enough for work for me. I am going to find out how satisfied everyone is with their rep oceanracers now....

Newdoc Posted November 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 So Lani is the only person I could find who commented on the quality of Josh/Andrew's Ocean Racer strap. Can anyone else weigh in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
