I've come to the conclusion that I want to get a few aftermarket bracelets and, of course, a NATO strap for my '73 1450. I'm partial to the look of the Rolex president-style bracelets/Omega 1450 bracelet, and eBay has a ton of cheap bracelets in that style. Has anyone had any luck with these or is there a better way? Is there a forum member who deals in these style bracelets? If so, I'd rather my money go there instead of the PRC.

Thanks for any input.

Zac

I like the vintage NSA bracelets for these watches since they're period correct and there are a few different styles.

I haven't seen many of those, though I haven't been looking. Should I just google "vintage breitling NSA bracelet?"

You can get the NSA Bracelets from SQUINKY on his ebay store. He is great to deal with!

Squinky also sells the original vintage tool to change and add links to any NSA bracelet. It is a great tool and is an absolute must if you have NSA bracelets. It is also very easy to use with a minimal learning curve. Squinky will also add or remove links for you if you know the wrist size.
