...and I gotta say, it's one comfy watch. For being so big and heavy, it wears great. Even on the bracelet, it feels good on the wrist. Today, the UPS guy brought me the small butterfly deployant clasp I ordered (thanks to Altan for the tip  ) and it fits like a glove. After wearing it on & off for a week, it's running about +1.5/day. Not bad at all.  Here's a couple of pics of the new clasp...    And an ugly wrist shot. ;D It's big, but doesn't wear like the 44mm watch it is.  |

Thanks Warren I love the way a diver's watch & rubber strap combo looks and feels on the wrist.  This strap really reminds me of my old SMP on rubber strap. |

That is one fine looking watch Sam That small butterfly clasp is much better. If only the waiting list wasnt so long  It actually doesnt look too big on the wrist at all, I thought it was a lot bigger |

The waiting list isn't too bad....if you look on the sales fora.  It really doesn't feel too big...considering it's 44mm. But that's only 2-3 mm more than a SMP or Speedy Pro. The rubber strap is definitely the way to go. The bracelet is nice, but the rubber strap is perfect. Don't waste your $250 bucks on the bracelet.  |

I am glad to hear that you liked it, Sam...  That rubber strap along with the smaller clasp makes a comfortable fit even more comfortable. I am not wearing my Breitling Avenger anymore... it feels like it is such a hard work to put it on (!)… ;D ;D |
