Hi all I just found this forum and this is my first post so go easy on a newb I'm just about to purchase a CHRONOGRAPH 7104.3 to replace my omega speedmaster broad arrow which I'm bored of, and wanted to know if anyone could recommend a nice steel bracelet to match it? As you can see from the image the original bracelet looks great but I doubt i will be able to find an original, what would be a good aftermarket equivalent (not bothered about make) thanks James

Welcome to BreitlingSource, and congrats on the imminent acquisition - it's a nice watch! You are right that it will be very difficult to find the original bracelet, though they show up on eBay very occasionally. I'm sorry, I can't help on aftermarket bracelets - I always go strap on older pieces, but another member may have some recommendations for bracelets. |

thanks for this, just paid for it, it's from Old World, so it's NOS, very excited about it. I'm finally going back to breitling after a 2 year gap, I used to have a gold and steel chronomat but sold it as it was way too bling  Slightly concerned about the plexiglass I have to say having always owned saphire glass models, hope it's going to be rugged enough for daily use |

Well you couldn't have bought it from a better place! The plexiglass obviously isn't sapphire, and it will scratch over time, but they are easy to replace. Craig (chronodeco) may know whether you can find a sapphire crystal that will fit. |

Great watch! You cannot go wrong with a NOS watch from that dealer. I would recommend a vintage NSA bracelet. NSA (Novovit) was the original supplier for most of Breitling and Heuers bracelets in the 1960-70's. Used and NOS shown up on Ebay. This is very nice made, genuine vintage bracelets. They would look much nicer on your watch than a modern new one. This seller has a lot of NOS NSA bracelets, but they are quite pricey. See link: http://cgi.ebay.com/Beads-Monaco-links- ... tsupported I have just put a NOS NSA bracelet on my vintage Breitling Sprint. I got it on Ebay for US 50.00 $ Regards Jarl |
