Do the Diver Pro straps fit all of the other models? (Not interested in a Navitimer). I want to get a model where I can quickly and easily change he look from classy to casual. Thanks.

Though "quickly and easily" can seem a bit far fetched (you'd still need about 10 minutes and specialized tools like Bergeon 6767 or 6111), the straps are interchangeable on 99% of Breitlings.
(At this time, IIRC its all but the Starliner and the Nav Heritage, so you're safe apparently ;-).)

Hi Don,
Ever have problems (scratches, etc) changing straps? I'm still trying to get the hang of it. Any special tips or is it trial and error?

A steady work surface, rubberised if possible.
A case vice to hold the watch with.
A steady hand.
The right tools.
Enough time to do the job.
And...a cheap/old/broken watch to practice, practice, practice on so you get it right before you engrave the case of your Breitling.
No skill was ever learned on the first attempt! :-)
