The Breitling Watch Source Forums

Hi, I'm new here and was hoping someone may be able to help me?
I've just purchased a Breitling Colt model no: A53035
I'm happy with it but wanted to change the leather strap to a stainless steel type.
After reading through some forums I was led to believe that a 820A would fit. Having located one it was apparent that it would not fit as it had a 20mm lug width. My watch has an 18mm lug width.
I was then told the right bracelet for my model was a 612A.
I can't seem to find this model anywhere? Does anyone know if this is correct or knows of another model which would work? Happy to buy it if someone has the right one for a good price.
Thanks in advance.

Per the sticky - viewtopic.php?f=29&t=42537 823a Fighter bracelet.

Welcome to BreitlingSource.

823a and 824a will both fit. 823 has the middle row links brushed , 824 is all polished.

Thanks for the help, but now I'm a little confused.

I see this post on here and this guy says he's having trouble fitting the 823A to the same model as mine.
See below.

Does any one know which watches the 822A and 823A end links fit ? I have been trying to fit the 823A 18mm Fighter Bracelet to a Chrono Colt A53035 without much success.

You need 820A or 821A (brushed) Pro1, they are both 18mm.
823A and 824A are Fighter and designed for newer model A53350.
I also edited that post and put ref# on last few Colt models from 2000 Handbook, to avoid confusion between models with "35" case, which use Pro1 and "50" case, which use Fighter.
