lanikai Posted December 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2008 Perhaps if HK offered this with the sides painted black instead of red. More subtle but still FREAKIN' AWESOME! Actually after wearing this combo for a while .. I really like the red rubber finish on the sides.. it is not a genuine Breitling design.. but it should be IMO my initial knee jerk reaction was "too much" .. I think I was jus being too rigid.. While wearing it and the looks I was getting .. I was actually getting a little self concious .. almost gave one guy a.... What !!! Good thing I didn't .. he said,"Cool looking watch".. didn't get that before Aarons strap ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lanikai Posted December 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2008 Can't take my eyes off it. Can't get it off ma wrist either.. Back in the day Hong Kong Tailors loved to do the sports coats with red stitching on the lapels.. etc.. I asked Aaron for a strap for the Chopard when I got it.. he suggested black with red stiching.. then I forgot about it.. didn't I see a pic of your Chopard with the red stitching?? .. would ya mind posting a pic of that even though it's not Breitling ?? I like the gator hide with the stitch.. think I'll have to order one for the Chopard chrono ... thanks W .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guru1 Posted December 26, 2008 Report Share Posted December 26, 2008 I ordered my 4 weeks ago, he told me it was shipped on Dec 16th, I got a tracking number but when I track on the page he sent me it says, invalid item. He wanted to check the post office today to see what is wrong. still waiting on his answer. Can I trust him or should I request my PP payment back? Right now I feel like I am getting scammed.

Aaron is Solid .. no need to worry and definately not reason to think of him as a 'scammer" in anyway.. just sounds like a mix up of sorts.. it happens to all of us sooner or later, when things are shipped half way around the planet. Just be patient.. I ordered this strap long before I recieved my Black Steel I,... as I'm sure many members will vouch for Aarons Integrity... You'll recieve your strap soon enough I'm sure.

I received my strap today, tracking number was as Aaron said and it looks like the Thai post srewed up. Great strap, great guy, I will buy again.

Watchmeister Posted December 27, 2008 Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 Lani- As requested. Mille on hornback with the red stitching - another HKtan masterpiece. You are right that the red lining is what makes the difference though. We do that to my wife's fur coats. No one ever walks off with your fur coat.

eunomians Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 I've got the same strap and it's very well made. It might be a bit too much red for my tastes though for a daily wearer. I slapped on the rubber again and I'm loving this watch all over again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I slapped on the rubber again and I'm loving this watch all over again! A couple of years ago I saw the most awesome strap on a 3717,.. first time I saw either the 3717 Pilot or the strap.. the strap turned out to be a HK Tan... so I attribute getting hooked on Aarons straps to Euno .. he was the first I saw with that combo .. and it was breath takingly AWESOME !! Still got that image Euno.. I'd love ta see it again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shundi Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 Probably one of the best strap/watch combos I've ever seen! Really incredible...Breitling should make those OEM!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eunomians Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 I think it's odd that they didn't make a strap with at least red stitching on black as an OEM option. The red really makes the red on the watch "pop". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The red really makes the red on the watch "pop". "Traditionalist" .. actually I cannot recall any brand that uses coloured thread in their straps .. maybe that will change now..

eunomians Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 There are some 'boutique' brands such as Temption... And Chopard did with the Mille Miglia pvd black & red watch (too bad the black case is shiny). Tag has some also with red accented straps. Temtion was one of the first. This watch was tha sh*t a few years ago when it came out. Case is PVD, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DLC makes the PVD look "plastic" thanks Euno .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
