Really happy with this watch, though the strap it came with is quite crappy. Looking for any recommendations, full metal, nato, leather(?), perlon etc. Thanks!

Have the same watch and strap.
I have a Ziczac med brown ostrich strap incoming. Saw this on Etsy and thought the breitling SO2 would look similar - so asked Ziczac to make one.

Here is my Blue version with a Gen Aero Strap and AN Factory deployant.

Great - I'm looking for a Aero strap as well. Gen is way to go? Where did you source one? Is the rep clasp as good as gen? Thanks.
I bought the Aero's on eBay. Black is about $125ish. The Deployant is known as "Gen" from ANF for about $170. It is worth the price.
AD is offering both rubber + deployant clasp for $450. Now which is better option? Thanks.
FYI: This is for my gen breitling.
It is about $150 more for both Gen items. I think the AN Factory deployant is exceptional quality for a Rep. I have bought 6 of them. with Gen Rubber straps and Staib Mesh bracelets. But if I was buying for one of my Gen Breitling's I would go all Gen.

Now this breakdown I didn't expect for $450: Strap $75 + Clasp $375 from AD. Wow!!
tkingjr What would you pick between $180 ANF clasp versus $325 gen clasp ? The price difference is closer now.
Also, what about complete rep clasp 'if that's available' from TDs?

I keep buying the ANF version because I bought about 10. If I was buying one I would have bought the Gen. I just bought two more in Black Steel so I picked the Rep again. Every Rep clasp that came from the TD's I replaced with the exception of the Bandit. The deployant on the Bandit was the same as ANF's only in titanium (not sure if it is really Ti.) Remember if you install the ANF on a mesh bracelet you can't remove it. I have to add my warning note.

MarkMarky I never asked for a brushed. The Ti version is brushed. I am not sure of the Black Steel I ordered. All my polished deployants are on mesh or rubber straps so they look good with the watch. If you need a photo of a specific SOH let me know the model number and I will look to see if I have it.
