Breitling and Rolex....
Who says they can't get along?

Two 1968 Omego's

Calatrava Strap Options
My recently acquired Calatrava has a matte brown strap with a white gold tang buckle. I would like a black one.Several thoughts are bouncing around in my watch-centric pea-brain:I was thinking of getting non-Patek straps with lock-tite spring bars to facilitate changes (from brown to black).

Will that work and be better than a size smaller?Should I stick to OEM and just get the proper fitting strap? And splurge on another buckle?Should I forget strap changes altogether since I'm bound to show scratches despite how careful I will be?And let my wallet veto the most obvious solution: I am NOT adding a Calatrava 5196/5116/5119/5120/5123/5227 just to carry the other strap!

Legit dilemma. Haha
