I've no complaints about the deployment either - I have both my MB and S500 on them. I like the extra weight (although, admittedly, it's marginal) that it adds to the bottom of the wrist.

And the straps really do wear better. It's funny though, Jake, how often customers choose the pin buckle over deployment. Soft wrists I reckon!
Each to their own. Maybe the extra cost is a factor here? The deployment is quite expensive compared to the pin buckle!And the straps really do wear better. It's funny though, Jake, how often customers choose the pin buckle over deployment. Soft wrists I reckon!

Not when it's in the price of a new watch
I prefer a pin buckle to a deployment, it just forces the strap to the wrist a little more I think. And I've not had a tang buckle fail, but deployments pop open right left and centre for me.
The Breitling ones are the worst!
Just my experience.

That's interesting - I've never had a problem with a Breitling or Bremont deployment! (Thankfully, I may add!)

I've not owned a Bremont one, the Omega ones and Tag ones are better because they have lock that needs a double squeeze to open, but I had a Breitling one open all the time, perhaps it was just old but the pressure wasn't there to keep it locked. The Ball one kept opening too, and was just uncomfortable with their rubber strap. Maybe I just have a silly shape wrist! They must work for most people!

Hoping for a polar blast.....Terra Nova #123
1680 Red, welcome to the forum! The Terra Nova could well be the perfect watch looking at the forecast for the next week or two!
I see you've attached your #womw picture as a thumbnail. Whilst perfectly OK, you'd be better of hosting the picture in Photobucket (or similar) first. If you need a hand with that, let me know.
J.
