i have found the code: for the steel one is a20d2 or a20d4, instead for titanium one e20d2 or e20d4... so if i buy the steel one i have only to check the correct number

I bought two deployants from two different sellers at two price ranges. I compared all to the AN Factory deployant. I have bought the AN Version for several of my Breitling watches. In my comparison, I could not see any difference. What I found most interesting the return address from both sellers was the same. The packaging was the same. Here is a link for more details of my order.

Sorry, I don't have time at the moment to take photos.

I will take photos when I return home on Nov 16th.

With my gf breitling premier I got a folding tang deployant and this has been my favorite most comfortable buckle/clasp yet!!
i am struggling to find these to purchase for my other couple leather straps!!
I don’t know if I’m not searching for the right name or what...

Ordered the clasp from 12'o clock watch accessories shop too.
I am really curious.
Hope there are no custom problems.

Who’s your td and were they from GF factory? Was it the strap and clasp or just clasp?
The clasp is great but it’s really both the clasp and strap together that are just great!

My TD is Eric at Geektime.

It’s just the clasps at $60 each. I had genuine alligator leather straps made for my Breitlings recently. I thought the straps for the Premier wouldn’t be very good as I thought all TD leather straps are rubbish so didn’t order them.

What makes you think the straps are decent? Are they comparable to custom leather strap makers?

EDIT - yes clasps were from GF

The font is the only difference I could find. The look and feel the same as the ANF version.
Ali Exp 1 weighed 33 grams
Ali Exp 2 weighed 34 grams
ANF Ti version weighed 33 grams

I finally have time to post my AliExpress photos.
The AliExpress is on the Left. The Ti version is an ANF deployant. I could not find any difference except the engraving. I will post those pics next

I bought the same on Aliexpress (the one on the left and the same of your next message) from the same seller (12 o'clock watch accesories store) and it is just arrived. i think it is great!
it seems gen like and the difference in model number engraving of your photo is only due to the fact that one is smooth and one is brushed (so they are 2 different models), but the numbers are correct
