Skyland now on leather

So I have owned this Skyland for roughly 4 weeks. It is by far the best rep I have owned, and it hasn't left my wrist since buying it.

I personally believe that a Breitling looks best on leather. There is something about their design that just really suits the leather straps over a bracelet.

I ordered the Skyland on the bracelet because it is much easier to own that version and source a strap than the other way round. At first, I saw pictures of the leather and the bracelet, and in pictures I think the Skyland looks better on a bracelet. I knwo in the felsh, my opinion would change. So I ordered the leather strap from Angus.

First of all, the leather strap is a great replication, very accurate and for the price, very good quality. Now onto the pictures.....

Excellent b16............very nice pics!!!!!! I'm thinking your right on the leather strap. The watch just looks more like a classy. first class tool, that it was originally intented to be on leather.

I'm a pam guy......I have one BCE, and an SA on the way. The Breitlings are sure looking good!!! Your pics might trigger another order !!!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Congrats, and thanks for the pics!!!! :lol:

Very nice. I have to agree with you, breitlings look a lot better on leather. I have all of mine on croc or alligator straps. Gives them a much classier look IMO.

Is that rep strap real leather or imitation?

Breitling sure do look good on leather. I've got two gen leather bands. One on my bentley, the other on my Heritage. Gen rubber on my Steelfish. I personally decided to keep my skyland on stainless since it is such a nice band...
