Is this a genuine Breitling Strap?
Just bought this on line for a good price so need to ask experts if it is genuine Breitling please?
It's to go on my white dial Chronomat Airborne 41.

Doesn't look as padded as the deployment clasps usually are.

Thanks but I decided to pop down to my Breitling AD to check and all is good.

In my experience. ADs havent been the most reliable sources to authenticate anything....

Gary, as others have mentioned, the padding.
Also, the grain on the leather. The calf leather band is about as smooth as a babie's butt. I'll take some shots of mine on my Navitimer and post them. |

I would also say fake, and perhaps get a crocodile strap for a chronomat -- but I think Roff told you it was real on BreitlingSource.com, he would know.

Yes he did and my AD confirmed it as genuine Breitling.
