lanikai Posted December 24, 2008 Report Share Posted December 24, 2008 Hi All, Received my HK Tan Black waterproof leather strap with red stitch .. here are some quick pics.. Aaron asked for measurements ... I requested OEM.. so the buckle fits perfectly as do the lugs.. It is amazingly lite ... and really comfortable ! I took different angles with various natural lighting.. Thanks for viewing.. Aloha L Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siesta181 Posted December 24, 2008 Report Share Posted December 24, 2008 Was always put off by the Blacksteel by its rubber strap. But you had to do this to me..... Arrghhhhh.... But its a wonderful combo, simply genius. Dang it. Probably have to sell my Skyland for this. I need the Blacksteel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lanikai Posted December 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2008 Genius! Obnoxious but genius! I am definitely in. . . . it is rather LOUD ... the reason why my reaction was to put back the black divers. . . . . it's a nice match.. but it's kinda like the guy wearing the pink suit and pants in the club .. ya gotta be able to pull it off..

Watchmeister Posted December 24, 2008 Report Share Posted December 24, 2008 I have full confidence in you. I really don't think anyone is going to mess with you. Ergo, you pull it off. As for me, I am too old for anyone to care. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toadtorrent Posted December 24, 2008 Report Share Posted December 24, 2008 That's an amazing combo. Not a general use everyday combo...but when you're going for that heavy leg day don't mess with me mode...bring it on!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
professor_yaffle1 Posted December 24, 2008 Report Share Posted December 24, 2008 That's an inspired combo Lani , I don't think I've ever seen a strap from Aaron that I don't like. It's loud, yes, but just the right sort of loud (dammit, will have to add to my list) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hung Well Posted December 24, 2008 Report Share Posted December 24, 2008 its a good looking strap but it would be much better if was totally black. looks loads better on the diver rubber....it makes the red on the watch stand out better. awesome watch though....i really want one but im holding put to see if they make a SA blacksteel as im used to the size of the SA now.

Mickey Padge Posted December 24, 2008 Report Share Posted December 24, 2008 Looks good, I was wondering where to get a new strap that would still be able to use the blacksteel buckle, this seems to be the answer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chubbchubb Posted December 24, 2008 Report Share Posted December 24, 2008 Don't worry about the look - I think it looks fantastic... if you wanted to keep a low profile, you should change the watch first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanikai Posted December 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2008 Thanks All for the words of encouragement !! After wearing it all morning .. it isn't "loud" at all.... this strap was meant to be worn with the Breitling Black Steel !! I really dig looking at the side view of the red edge.. and what's more it is so comfortable .. thanks to Aaron for a great alternative for the Black Steel !! He shipped it out as soon as it was done .. instead of waiting for the rest of my order to be finished.. thanks "Ma Man" !! Lani Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted December 24, 2008 Report Share Posted December 24, 2008 R- You are killing me with these pics! I'm gonna have to get me one of them thar Blacksteels... Sooner rather than later! BTW... I rather fancy that strap. Very interesting look and nice to change the aesthetics up every once in a while. Looking good!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
its_urabus Posted December 24, 2008 Report Share Posted December 24, 2008 I am with UBI. that strap makes that watch dead sexy... wear it well my friend... Happy holidays everyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickey Padge Posted December 24, 2008 Report Share Posted December 24, 2008 I ordered a little something from Aaron for my blacksteel too! He is a great guy to deal with, and thanks lanikai for costing me more money! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheaton26 Posted December 24, 2008 Report Share Posted December 24, 2008 looks awesome lani! i just picked up an oem rubber strap for mine and it really makes a difference ... so much more comfortable. again great pics! merry christmas.

andreww Posted December 25, 2008 Report Share Posted December 25, 2008 Looks great Lan, but as you probably know, I prefer Breits on gen straps or authentic rep straps. Of the non-OEM straps I have seen, this one looks the nicest though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff g Posted December 25, 2008 Report Share Posted December 25, 2008 This combo has stolen the show this Christmas. This series of photos will sell more of the BS's than any dealer ever could. Perhaps you should post a few on the Breitling forums. Just kidding. Wear it well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siger125 Posted December 25, 2008 Report Share Posted December 25, 2008 F... amazing.... i wear SS only but i am close to changing my mind.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuDro Posted December 25, 2008 Report Share Posted December 25, 2008 . . . it is rather LOUD ... the reason why my reaction was to put back the black divers. . . .. it's a nice match.. but it's kinda like the guy wearing the pink suit and pants in the club .. ya gotta be able to pull it off.. Perhaps if HK offered this with the sides painted black instead of red. More subtle but still FREAKIN' AWESOME! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
