Any suggestions on a leather strap for a '98 LE Aerospace (ti with blue dial)? Not all that impressed with the official Breitling selection at my AD. Looking for a dressier look (and a 20 with ti hardware), as the rest of my "collection" is SS on SS bracelet. Cheers.

I could never find a suitable replacement for theTi bracelet, to be honest, I tried, I really did.Any strap I've tried, made the watch feel and look just cheap,except for NATO.Jmo.
I've upgraded to the avantage model,which seems to be the sweet spot between different generations of the aerospace.The Evo I find to be very awkward looking,almost like it has been put together from a parts bin of different watches.

I have bought a few straps from panatime. Check it out.

Have the evo in blue with titanium. Decided on this strap from panatime.

Crocidile straps always make a watch look more upscale in my opinion. The breitling knock off styles look as good and cost less.
check out strappedfortime.com they have tons of styles and do custom leathers too.
