Thank you very much!

As far as the Breguet feel is the other way around. Look at post #28 !

And the new shoes for the beauty just arrived straight from Breitling.

The default strap is a nice black color but I'm more in tan/brownish colors.

So I ordered what Breitling calls brown Drakkar with yellow lining and thread serafil cremate with satin-polished tang buckle in XL size.

The price is 180 € and 40 € for the buckle.

The default size strap is 120/75 and is small for my 20cm wrist as you can see in the pics in previous post. XL size is 125/85, much better.

The case that the strap came in is very well made (almost luxurious) with fabric outside and a smooth material like blue velvet on the inside.

The long part is thicker until the middle of the strap where the holes begin and the same is happening in the short part which looks almost all thicker because it's shorter.

Not ready for operations (change straps ) yet so below are pics from the unboxing and later sometime with the strap on the watch.

In time. Not ready yet to "attack" the lugs with sharp pointy spring bar tools in a brand new watch worn a couple of times

This is the first time I've ventured into the Breitling forum as I've never really paid much attention to them, most have far too busy dials for me but I've got to say this piece is stunning! Congrats. I'm going to look into this one with some more detail, thanks!

I had a very good offer in the first place from the AD that I couldn't refuse.
