It looks fantastic no matter which strap you put on it, or the bracelet!

I'm moving away from Breitlings, I don't feel like I've gone off them, I just don't seem to wear them so they are going!

Funny that the one I'm keeping is Ti like yours

Still got my chronomat, had a bit of a mare with it though, last november it started losing 10 secs a day, sent it to breitling uk, who had it til march, and regulated it, then on holiday in may (6 weeks later) it stopped completely and would not hold any power. Went back with a massive complaint for a full service, they did it in 3 weeks this time, all working fine now, touch wood.

Not posted on here for a while so after not really liking the pro bracelet that came with my watch I bought a diver pro II and diver pro III and cheap diver pro that turned out to be a 'replica'.
I then went back to the pro bracelet for a while and decided I still didn't like it!
I bought a Breitling leather strap and then a non Breitling leather strap and and they didn't do it for me either.
So finally I've bitten the bullet and purchased ( at considerable expense ) a professional II bracelet.
This is what I wanted all along but the cost put me off.
It should arrive on Friday so I'll post a pick up.
I should then have the watch in the form I have wanted since purchasing it!

Maybe it's the watch that isn't for you, not the bracelet hehe Is the Professional 2 one of the all polished bracelets? I'd like to get a bracelet for my Cockpit Chrono, but as it's an all polished case the bracelet would need to be polished to match. I thought it might look too flashy on a very shiny polished bracelet.

I had a titanium Aerospace with the pro II bracelet and traded it for my Avenger Seawolf on the original pro bracelet. I love the watch I have now but missed the Pro II. So later this week I will have the watch I love on the strap I love.
The strap I'm getting is titanium to match the watch so the least flashy Breitling available.

Well make sure we see it as soon as it's on!!!!!

All things considered I think it's my favourite Breitling!

I REALLY REALLY like that bracelet, it`s "the one"

I had a titanium Chrono Avenger with a UTC that had the other type, the Pro 1, MUCH prefer the Pro 2 with the flat links!

Love it smile

Bet that the battery and service wasn't cheap!

I'd love another from the professional range but the running cost scares me, that's why I traded the Aerospace frown
