borz Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 I heard plenty of conflicting opinions on Breitling replica leather strap with deployment clasp, just wondering of the one from Ruby (http://www.nicereplica.com/pro_detail.php?ProId=608) is any good. If not, does any dealer sell decent ones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yodap Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 This one you've linket totally sucks. Go for rep calf, not croc! Hope this helps. Greetz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borz Posted November 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 This one you've linket totally sucks. Go for rep calf, not croc! Hope this helps. Greetz. Are the ones from Ruby OK though, or should I get one from another dealer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toadtorrent Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 I have a feeling they are the same...not sure on that...but pretty sure. I'll take some better pics of the brown moo-croc on deployment later today. I don't think it's too bad...I like it. It's stiff to start, but should soften up like my others have with wear. Mine was from Angus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogerthat Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 They are all the same regardless of dealers, at least with our good dealers, I am sure there are even worse one's out there. Quality is OK, just not nearly as close to gen as the calf. The rep calf are very close to gen the rep croc is not. If you like the look and cannot afford the gen croc than give it a try, it is not bad. The main issue with it is that in your hands it feels like a calf stamped croc strap, given what it is, it is actaully a very good example of a croc stamped calf strap. Other minor issues include inaccurate stamping. Likewise the main reason the rep calf is so good is that it is the correct material. Pretty simple material issue really when you give it some thought.

yodap Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 The whole strap isn't leather at all, it's a piece of plastic. It will wear very badly, and in 3 or 4 months it will fall apart for sure (at least mine did, had to use loctite...) I'll post pics! Don't buy it, it simply s*cks (imo, of course). Greetz.

Pugwash Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 I have a Breitling Moo-Croc and it's not plasticky at all. I got it from Precious Time with a Deployant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree...I think it feels pretty good. My wife's gen A. Lange & Sohne black crock feels more plasticky because of the varnishing or whatever they do to add gloss.
