The Breitling Watch Source Forums

Hello breitlingsource.com users,
Recently bought my first breitling and tiday registered this forum as i need some help.
My watch came with a leather strap and deployer but don't feel to good wearing it so I've decided to upgrade to a bracelet. The original, the pilot, it's too expensive so my point was to order the professional II or III... Any ideas? I guess I need a 20mm one but I don't knoe if they fit and the exact model as there are few variations 812a 812b...
My watch is a cockpit chrono 2007 with blue dial and back case says a13358.
Should the bracelet be brushed or pollished?
Thank you in advance!

Welcome aboard.
Most of the models have unique end link geometry.
You can't put a Pro bracelet on Windrider line, Pro bracelet is designed for Aeromarine line.
Your only option is Pilot bracelet with 361A end links, which is polished.
If you want it brushed, it can be done aftermarket.
Other option for OEM brushed would be to source any 20mm brushed bracelet and put it on 361A end links after you have brushed them.

But only Pilot will fit those end links.

Of course, I was thinking that but didn't write it.
Thank you for clarification and Happy Birthday, Roff!

20mm Ocean Classic would work if you like the mesh look, and can usually be had for hundreds less than a Pilot or Pro bracelet.

Thank you for your post and help. Didn't knew it would be so complicated and that the end links are so diffrent
To buy a professional and change the end links is would be hard to acomplish because here in Germany but I would give it a try in Switzerland as I live 80km from Basel. Will try to look directly for a used pilot bracelet

Pilot end links won't fit on a Pro bracelet.

hello,
would this fit?

to begin I will change the leather strap with a breitling one

thank you!

The bracelet won't fit, as bnewbie told you last week you need 361a, that is 378a.

The strap will fit, but you would also need the deployant clasp for that one which isn't included. Price is also very Hugh - likely higher than list in Europe for calf.

Only 361A or newer 366A will fit.

Hello, thanks again und sorry for so many questions. I already have the deployant and yes I find the price for the strap little bit too high considering that you can find leather bands for 50-60 euro
