So I currently have my two favourites which I alternate. Speedy + sub.

One of my first auto's was a Breitling Colt. Was never over the moon with it, but did like it at the time.

Now the watch does not get any wrist time at all. Don't know, its just to silver.

I then decided to fit a leather strap to see if my feelings will change.

Well,...................... I might give it a bit of wrist time.

Your thoughts.

 

Looks much better on the leather.

 

Trying out a new strap can sometimes completely renew your relationship with a watch

 

I'm not a fan of anything Breitling to be honest but it definitely looks better on a strap.

 

agree with all previous posts -- you got excellent makeover results there!

 

Have seen it even look alright With a rubber dive strap. years left

 

So much better, in fact looks very current!

 

I really like that generation of Colts, but more than the current models, and it looks great on the leather.

 

Looks very fresh and easy to wear, which I would say the previous look did not show.

 

Definitely gives the watch an upgrade/update. I'm not a bracelet guy to begin with so I think leather looks 100% better. Nicely done.

 

Good choice!

Now tell us the story of how you wabi-sabied the hell out of that bracelet.

 

great watch to do chores and work with if you nick it up , you probably wont care, i would keep just for that reason but it looks pretty good on the leather, although i think the bracelet would clean up just fine ....

 

Looks better on leather.

 

better on leather ... but a blue dial and a black strap is still a no-go ...

that's like blue-jeans and black shoes

try any shade of brown and see for yourself

 

Not a Colt fan, but as others have stated, a new strap can change everything!

 

Perfect, now it will attract many more potential buyers on WUS

Joking, looks much better on strap. I second the rubber option.

 

I am a breitling fan, and that makeover really changes it's look!

 

Ok thanks for the comments.

I also was worried about the black. Somehow the black and blue........... the contrast does not totally work.

Swopped it out for brown and love it.

You sent it to the Sex Workers Outreach Program?

It does look good on the brown strap, but why would you want give your watch to an ex-hooker?

 

On the wrist.
