Watch aquired - what strap?!

[PIGINAWIG]

Evening all,

Had a bid on the 'Bay and won this little fella:




I don't particularly like the strap that it's on, although it's probably the best looking for this watch...?!

Anyone offer up any ideas on what to replace with? It's currently on a brown calf leather strap (with Breitling buckle - the buckle is genuine, but the strap isn't)

Pics or links to a replacement strap would be splendid!

Thanks muchly.......

I have a watch of a similar style on black ostrich (well...probably imitation ostrich) and I think it's a good match.

The strap looks like this rather pricey example:

You could probably find a cheaper one.

I don't think you could go wrong with black, brown or tan leather, but I would avoid anything too padded or contrasting stitching.

Black for smart, brown or tan makes it look a little more casual. What do you prefer? I tend to swap straps around regularly.

And nice watch btw

Cheers Alex - Yep, I think I'll go for black as you suggested.

The hunt begins! I'll still have the brown one that's on the watch now, so best of both worlds. I'd like to be able to swap the breitling buckle over to the new strap as well.

Thanks fella.
