DSSD on a Breitling crocodile strap

I've been meaning to do this for a while. I think it's a great and very different look for this watch. What do you think?

It's a good look - now a non-diver diver for time being.

Is that strap safe @ 12,000'?

Great look! Have a similar black hornback strap from Ted Su (as well as one in forest green) I put on rotation on the DSSD. I also use Isofrane and a Breitling ProII rubber straps.

Deepsea with rubber strap

I have just fixed RubberB strap on my Deepsea and it now wear much comfortable without the case swinging due to the heavy/tall case and thin bracelet.

being a PAM owner, i really like the look of straps on watches. i'm just not 100% sold on the DSSD being on a strap, though. the watch is so technical and over-engineered, it looks, to my eyes, too "tough" to be on a gator. but, hey, to each his own.

Thanks everyone. I'll try it for today and see how it feels! It's pretty comfortable -- even on a deployant clasp, the strap is wide and firm enough to tame the weight of the watch.
