Hi guys!

My first post here after lurking for a long time :)

Can anyone help here? I know the watch I want, but I can't seem to find anyone who can provide it with the correct band.

I'm after the Chronomat 44mm Blacksteel Yellow dial, it's a limited edition which makes things harder.

It should look like this:

However, all the reps seem to use a standard black rubber band, which makes it a bit of a dead giveaway.

Does anyone know where/if I can source one with the correct band, or the band separately? Can't even buy it from Breitling by the looks...

Thanks in advance!

No, that strap hasn't been repped. You can buy it at a AD. But I think it's about 400 bucks.

The all black version of that strap is less then 100... It's not a dead give away. Better a good 'model incorrect' strap, than a bad rep.

Hi! You can find a very similar on Aliexpress. It is not identical, but it will work very good on it.

I don’t know if you have any experience with that exact strap you recommended, but I have. They are garbage. I have two in a drawer right now. The nylon is too thin and sits inside the rubber sides. The yellow rubber is both the wrong color and so thin its see-through on the backside. IMO, its a waste of time and money.

That strap is made by GF with a black steel deployant clasp and is sold with the Avenger Hurricane 45mm.

Thanks for all the input guys, yeah it needs to be rubber to try to replicate the original. I'm toying with the idea of attempting to create it myself with yellow plasticote and a lacquer
