This store (Shop910322294 Store) has the deployant in AliExpress for 20€ , and it looks good.
I have one on the way.

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

I don’t know... The only objective comparison I have is all the other leather straps I’ve received from TD/factory and all the leather straps I’ve bought off eBay..
it just felt different.. I’m only specifically talking about the blue strap that came on my premier.. I also got a blue leather strap with my chronomat from GF and it was not very good... it’s just that one strap... it’s good, I just know it.. just a feeling I have...

Please post pics when it arrives! In the advertising it says it has the logo so I’m very curious how it looks and feels!

Thanks for sharing!

I bought the 18mm version for 20mm lugs 11/14/2020 using the link Watch Addicted provided after joining aliexpress and it arrived yesterday from NY? Maybe forwarded from china from there (jamaca NY, already threw the package away, lol) . It looks fantastic and seems to close very securely. I'm ordering a gen rubber from b.ling's website now. Engravings say A18D.4 3519 B9. I have the one trusty claims as titanium though the color just doesn't look like Ti but it's still a great deployant. Like Katarsis said, I don't really need any more but these seem so good I kind of want to hoard them. Another 20mm in case one breaks and a polished 22mm version. I almost wouldn't mind trying to see if I can get a bracelet to fit in it. Decisions, decisions.

i think it is perfect, i have just received mine and just mounted it on my breitling superocean heritage 42 with rubber strap

Whilst it does look good the font is completely different to the gen...they are worlds apart.

The gen aero does look great on the deployment.

I bought couple of clasps around Nov 15th and it shipped and stuck in US customs from Nov 25 to today. No movement nothing. Not sure how long it'll be... terrible! Do they consficate even clasp now?

Hello
I ordered the deployant clasp from 12'o clock watch accessories shop. It took 3 weeks to Germany without customs problems.
Overall nice quality but my clasp have a small dent.
Ordered also a folding buckle but has not arrived yet.

Bro, it came and it was awesome!!!
took forever, but oh well!! The clasp is better than the GF tang deployant. The engraving and everything...

 

[Jack4Five]

Mine arrived too. I ordered both, the push-buttons folding clasp and the folding clasp for the leather strap. Not sure if they are gen like but the quality is good for that price you can't go wrong. ????

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

Did you receive the clasp? I ordered about 4 weeks ago, and still not shipped yet. Have sent about half a dozen messages to enquire about dhl shipping and general questions, but no replies yet. Did you Abe any issues?

The package arrived after about 3 weeks without any issius.
Perhaps yours takes longer because of chinese holidays?

 

[scot7361]

Yeah I assumed that may be the case, it’s just that it is not even showing as shipped yet, and no response to any msg’s. Could be they are on holidays and not manning the site.
No worries, just thought I would check
