Hi all :) I'm new to the forum.
I'm not sure how to determine which watches can accommodate which bracelets...
I'm deciding between the beautifully skeletal :wink: B04 GMT and B06 from the 2013 Bentley collection, but would love to put a mesh bracelet (Ocean Classic / Aero Classic) on it. The boutique has told me it's not possible, but it's unclear if it actually wouldn't "fit", or if it's simply because it's not an official combination that can be done.
What measurements should I be looking at to determine whether this combination would be possible?

Thanks!

Generally speaking Breitling bracelets are unique to individual models - the combination of end link curve and spring bar hole location means that even though they might physically attach to the watch, they won't fit properly.

However, with mesh bracelets it's a bit different because the end links are straight so it will fit as long as the lug width is correct. You would need 24/20 for both of the watches that you are considering.

Thank you! That should be no problem at all -- 24/20 OEM mesh bracelets are widely available on eBay and should be able to snag one from my AD at time of purchase anyway. Glad to know :)

Well, purported OEM ones. There are a huge number of fake bracelets on eBay, and they aren't very easy to spot.
