Breitling m2000
Hey All,My fianc�� bought me a Breitling SuperOcean m2000 as an engagment gift recently and it came with a leather strap. I was just wondering if anyone has ever switched straps on these watches and how difficult it is to do so. I am debating potentially getting a rubber diver strap or the bracelet for it, or both. If anyone is familiar with the watch, do you know if it would need the polished bracelet or if it can handle the brushed!Thanks for your help!

Picking the right one can be difficult...
...so it��s good if you don��t have to decide for one.

And it has arrived
It has arrived in all of its 47MM glory. The Pam 1305. I will say that it being about 10% thinner than the 305 is a big deal and the blue minute hand really sets it off. I would say to anyone looking for a dive watch to look at this or for the smaller wristed fellas the 42MM version. I believe this is about as good as it gets right here. I took more pictures but I cant seem to get them small enough to upload. Ill work on that later
