Yup I think that's what i'm going to do with a deployant clasp. Leather would be fine in winter but too humid where I live in summer. Ruin a nice leather strap with my skin leakage pretty easy.

I have ordered 22 X 20 blue rubber for a SO Y17393 on AliExpress. The quality was good, the wait is long.

Really close to ordering this one in Blue Rainbow. Could try on steel mesh and swap out to rubber dive strap if I don't dig it.
This diver strap looks solid, thoughts experts?

I ordered GF Factory Superocean Heritage 57 Capsule Series. The trusty link is below. GF confirmed the bracelet is 22mm X 20mm. The model number is A10370. Is this the same as the Superocean Heritage 57 Tribute being discussed?

yes it is but go to Breitling.com and the straps listed for this watch are 20mm so Trusty is probably wrong
Thanks. Lucy called GF for the dimensions. She is going to send me a pic of the measurements when she picks up my watch.. 22 X 20 is constant with other SOH's
Also the older version may have a smaller bracelet. My older Breitling Gen's have smaller bracelets.

I have one of these Aliexpress "cheaper" breitling dive straps and it's fine quality wise and will do the job however it is a much stiffer compound than the gen strap and I found it uncomfortable. IMO gen the gen rubber strap and spend 12 bucks on a b logo clasp from it off Aliexpress for a good gen-like experience for cheaper.

Please let me know if you get the watch, I am super curious of how the quality is compared to gen. I handled one at the bretiling store and they are very very nice.

Arrived today. Thing is goooooorgeous. Easily NWBIG. Milanese strap is actually super nice as well (I bought a gen rubber strap and nice B-logo deployant clasp for it) but it's going to stay on the milanese for now as it just works so well and wears so comfortably. Arrived running at +3s/day, 0 beat error, and 284 degrees of amplitude. Winds super smooth and everything feels super solid. On the Jtime site the caseback engraving in their photos looks crappy and badly engraved but underneath the plastic I was happy to see it perfectly engraved with no defects.
On the watch in general - it wears super nice as it's relatively light and thin. The unique shape of the bezel is really cool and catches the light in new and interesting ways I haven't expereinced on anything else in my collection. Highly recommend picking one up if you like the look.

Love it. I have the rose gold version headed my way and am happy to hear the early reviews are positive.

Wow, that is beautiful. I'm going to have to pick one of these up.... I'm a sucker for a nice blue watch.
I got the black Rainbow. Really nice watch and the bracelet is very good. I'm usually a strap guy, but I always put it back on this bracelet.
One thing to note on Rainbows : only the hour hand and pip is lumed. All the others are paint. Look strange in the dark.

I just got in a GF black on black model and I'll second the opinions that this is easily NWBIG. It is the best rep I have experienced (after I popped the movement out and cleaned the smudges off the inside of the crystal...). Very nice not that have to worry about a bezel having play or not aligning, and the same for a date window. My only complaint now is that the lume seems weak, especially the indices. I will be looking for a nice leather or relatively low profile rubber strap to put this on when I want to tone down the bling of it on mesh.
