Hi Rob, 2 years later you saved my life. I really mean it. This is why some TH-camrs are so great: they spend their time explaining others, like me, what to do so we do not spend our time or our money ruining our new rubber band. Thank you very much and greetings from the Canary Islands.
The Buck 119, a classic. Not many people know that it was originally created back in 1942 during World War II to resize premium Swiss watch straps. It was only later that people realized it could be useful for the occasional hunt between strap changes.
That adjustable clasp seems like a sweet feature. Watch looks totally different on rubber. Great watch and always great to have some more strap options
I feel like adjustable clasps are becoming more common (and this is a great thing!). I got a Mido Ocean Star Captain V Titanium (which you reviewed on your channel before) and the comfort different of an easily adjustable clasp cannot be overstated
Good g-d, thanks for this video, needed to know for sure if I had to have the Breitling tool or not to get those pins loose without scratching the crap out of a new clasp. Thanks for this video !!! 🎰
Just FYI I found it super easy to cut might Breitling rubber strap with a chef knife. Works great (wishes I used the technique on my other cut to fit rubber so it would be cleaner)
Looking good! Could someone tell me the thicknesses of this strap? I'm looking for a replacement for my Sinn silicon strap, but I don't know if this will fit.
I have three Breitling Superoceans & two are on bracelets, while the third is on this version of strap. I personally do not like it; the clasp seems to get stuck and is always too tight or too loose, despite the micro adjustments. I’m going to a cheaper aftermarket silicone strap; blasphemous perhaps, but I prefer comfort.
hey rob , and everyone. i have just sized my rubber bracelet and it's a very thin line between too tight and perfect. mine is tight which i want but i do notice it for an hour or so at first. will rubber stretch with time does anyone know ? or is there a trick to stretch it ? i don't think boiling water will work i think that might shrink it ? hope someone can advise 👍👍 great channel rob.
Do you prefer the stainless steel bracelet or rubber strap? Is the weight of the stainless steel bracelet with watch 160, 180, or 190 grams - Breitling website states these three weights on different pages.
Couple hundred dollars for this and all you get is some anemic springbars, a strap you have to cut and a clasp that provides no advantage over a buckle and tang... disappointing in my opinion
I DONT UNDERSTAND HOW YOU DO A VIDEO ABOUT SIZING AND DONT SHOW MOST OF THE WORK NEEDED AND SAY THAT " ITS NOT COMPLICATED " . MAYBE ITS NOT FOR YOU BUT FOR THE VIEWER WHO CLICKED THE VIDEO IT DAMN SURE IS !! THUMBS DOWN
@@RandomRobReviews Any chance you can direct me to, or have a video that shows the process of removing the pins with the fine fork tool from said watch which Ive just purchased online.
Yeah, I agree with you. Sorry to say that. Point of the video is to help the viewers understand how to accomplish a task. To say not going to show how to do this, or can’t do that on camera, and it’s not that complicated, well why even have the video at all? If it’s not complicated, people don’t even need whatever the bits that are shown in this video. If they’re informed enough to figure out the other parts, maybe they can just figure out all of it.

Rob - thanks for this video - needed it today and you made sizing my new superocean strap really easy - thanks again

Brietling makes a really good quality rubber strap. Awesome clasp set up.
They are expensive tho

Could this deployant clasp be attached to the Breitling SuperOcean milanese-style mesh bracelet, which comes with a cheaper folder-over clasp?
This clasp making me buy the rubber strap over the bracelet !
Can you use your original clasp from a metal bracelet for the tubber strap?
Hey Rob. How do you take the straps off the case itself. I can’t seem to figure that out ?

Are there enough “lines” to cut off to fit a 6.5” wrist?
Thank you! Video came handy.
What size are the spring bars for clasp, I brought a brand new clasp
And a rubber strap from breitling
But came with no clasp spring bars
22/20
Hi Rob, Do you have a link on how they converted it to the metal strap?? I would really appreciate it!!
Can u show how to DISMANTLE the rubber off the clip? In my opinion that’s the tricky part!
Rob, do you have videos where you talk about the tools that you use on your watches?
Yeah I have done some tool vids. Can do another one in next couple months

Looks like it fits like a glove.

good buck knife.
check out the 110
how much is the rubber and deployant ?
rob it is not centred... the 12 o'clock end always has to be longer... oh no... big problem with these straps, make a mistake, its an expensive one!
Strap isn’t that expensive, the clasp is. No big deal.
@Jersey Jim yep that would be good.
how do you measure the width of these bands so you know if they fit with your watch?
You mean in general? So normally you learn width on watch and order correct width strap. Watch comes first then the strap.
Do you prefer the stainless steel bracelet or rubber strap? Is the weight of the stainless steel bracelet with watch 160, 180, or 190 grams - Breitling website states these three weights on different pages.
Steel bracelet not sure weight if just the bracelet
Where can i buy that clasp?
really? why dont you show how remove watch first???
I really dig that strap, very cool
After ordering .Breitling just told me this clasp and band are not compatible
Hi Rob. You put out excellent content. Curious was that the same clasp from your bracelet?
Clasp is Breitling model just for rubber strap. It’s the reason for the expensive price. You can just use buckle and tang on rubber
Hah another April Fools joke! Not falling for it again.
I think the right tool for the job, is any knife with a good edge! nice strap 👍

True that. The springbars dont even look like high quality ones

Ok thanks for watching. Cut strap to size, install strap. Done.
@@RandomRobReviews ha!

Managed myself with fine fork tool
