I purchased a bracelet online recently under the following advertisement "Breitling Navitimer / Navitimer Montbrillant Olympus & Navitimer Montbrillant Edition Bracelet 442A / 441A / 431A / 425A / 423A / 447A." Authentic Watches dot com. The item number for sale was 441A, so I figured that would be sent to me. I knew that the Navitimer Olympus (non-Montbrilliant) I own originally came with 425A end links, however I believed 441A end links would work. A 447A bracelet arrived in the mail. After I fit the bracelet, the end links flipped up and down freely and would not hold in place next to the watch case.

The reps at the company were no help at all, swearing up and down there were no differences between any of the listed bracelet numbers. They claimed that they were all equally compatible. Their proof of this was that "these numbers have been listed on the website for years and no one has complained."

I saw in another post that it's claimed 441A end links will work with the Olympus. I live on an island in Alaska so I don't have access to a nearby AD. Before I try to mail-order 441A end links, does anyone have personal experience fitting them to the Olympus? Any recommendations on where to order them? Thanks!

AW don't know what they are talking about.
All those codes are definitely not interchangeable.
447A is for Navitimer 01.
For your Navitimer Olympus you need the 425A or 441A.
The difference is a stamped Breitling logo on 425 clasp and raised on the 441 clasp.

OK good, so now I feel safe ordering either 425 or 441 end links. Your advice is much appreciated!
