Folks,

I'm now getting one more Professional bracelet for my watch but it doesn't have end link, how easy to get required endlinks ?



Harder than the bracelet. You need the same code, but are hoping that someone has separated them from the bracelet.

Once again I hit the lucky star, The AD confirmed a pair of endlinks for my new Pro 1 bracelet and order has been placed. Hurray effectively I will have Pro2 and Pro1 (both brand new).

Once I acquire my Pro1 complete, I may be looking for selling my pro2 131A as I spent lots of money on it and will sell it for $50 less the cost incurred. Otherwise I will keep it with me.

I also placed order for a tang buckle 18mm ($40) and pair of 861A ($15x2=$30) and tax will be applied to this price. What a easy way of getting a hard to find links and buckle.

Folks,

My professional bracelet has arrived today to only shock me :cry: , this bracelet is not 20-18 but - Breitling Professional Bracelet Mens - 18-16 what a waste of time and money.

There is one more worry to this bracelet as I haven't seen a mfg date stamp (week and year) on the last link, can someone confirm if it is possible that breitling produced these models without the stamp of mfg time.

I have written to the seller for refund however I need to wait for his reply.

I will now end up having my end links (not worried about that as those links are hard to find). The pictures here to talk the story.

Older bracelets were manufactured without date code.

Thanks for that information, anyway I have returned the bracelet to the seller and he is still processing the refund. It was brand new and I was tempted to keep it with me but the size serves no purpose so returned it even though you have confirmed it is original.

Now I have the end links(866A) from Breitling and a tang buckle for a leather strap. Luckily I didn't buy the tang buckle from ebay or from internet where people normally quote anywhere between $40 to $130 plus shipping, in my case it worked really economical and brand new from AD.

With this end links officially supplied by Breitling A13035 watch can take the following end links and bracelet combinations.

Professional I end links:
878A
861A
866A

Professional II end links:
131A

Now the picture reference:
