I bought it for my Breitling, but I'm thinking it will go great on another of my watches also if I decide in the long run that the Navitimer World is a bit too dressy for this strap. But in the meantime, I'm liking it a lot. The strap is really comfortable, and it gives the Navi a whole new look. The buckle is a bit fiddly to work with; It's difficult to put it on. But, the buckle and strap are so comfortable that I never feel the need to mess with it during the day, so it's a pretty good trade-off. By the way, Ted was great -- answered all my questions as quickly as could be hoped, considering the time difference, and the strap arrived in Denver from Taiwan in six days. If you're wavering on this strap, I'd highly recommend it. I'm interested in your guys' opinions of how this looks on this watch. I'm still getting used to it, so I'm not positive. But I know that if I ever decide it's wrong for the Navitimer, the strap will look and work extremely well with my Omega PO. Last edited on Thu Apr 17th, 2008 09:21 pm by jsarche |

Sure. I'll take them in order: The buckle is very comfortable. It looks huge, but I've found it unobtrusive, and I notice it far less than (flatter) Panerai-style buckles I've worn before. One caveat on that, though, I have very big wrists - about 8.5 inches in circumference - and I think the proportions are just right for me. Second, yes and no. It's very practical in that it's infinitely adjustable. It's extremely easy to add or subtract a bit of size whenever you want and to whatever extent you want. But -- and maybe this is just a ``break-it-in'' kind of thing -- so far, it's hard to put on. The strap is a tight fit through the buckle, and it's difficult to put it on with one hand. Lastly, despite all that, I would highly recommend it. The strap itself is very comfortable. Kind of a rubbery feel, but it also feels tough as nails at the same time. It's kind of hard to explain. The strap itself is nice and flexible, and the stitching is very high quality. As a unit, the strap and buckle are a great match. I'm really enjoying them.

Thanks aplenty for the reply and the information! I was under the impression that the buckle -albeit ingenious- could prove to be excessively cumbersome for a desk diver, inasmuch it shows too much material "off-sides" the strap proper. YMMV, of course! Cheers, Marcello GT
