Hi all -- -I recently purchased a 2003 Super Ocean Chronograph Auto -- A13340. Did not know at the time that a Professional I bracelet link 878A would be so difficult to find !!! Discontinued and not available from Brietling. No luck searching various distributors, ebay etc. Any recommendations on how to locate one (besides buying a new bracelet) ????

You can try a WTB ad in the sales section, patience and luck needed.

A follow up questions: If I am looking for a link to make bracelet larger, what is the correct number that I should be looking for? 878A which is link I think attaches to the base of the watch, or S3703 which is imprinted on the middle links? If S3703 is the relevant number, are there others that might be compatible?

3703 is the week and year of manufacture.

If you just want links to make it larger then as long as it's the right width (20 / 18) it doesn't matter.

Be careful with 20mm - you need 18mm at the clasp, 20mm won't fit, but it's from a 20 / 18 bracelet.

That said, there aren't many options with the polished / brushed combo - don't have the books to hand but it may just be 878A only.
