Hello All,

Does anyone know the size of the the Breitling Rouleaux (bullet) band? I believe it is 20/18mm but I am not 100% sure.

Thank you.

For what model?

Rouleaux came in different sizes.

Well here is the thing. The model that I want to put the bracelet on is a 2003 Breitling Chronomat. However the bracelet that I have is the 18mm one and I don't know if it will fit this watch?

It won't.

2003 Chronomat had 20mm lugs. Rouleaux was made in 20mm width, but 2003 is post rouleaux era so the dtraight end rouleaux won't fit the case as well as the correct pilot.

Breitling said that a 20mm Rouleaux bracelet should fit the new Chrono cockpit. I also mentioned the ends being different and they said shouldn't be a problem. Your thoughts?

Thank you.

It will fit Chrono Cockpit because that has 20mm lugs.

The rouleaux will fit because it has straight end links, it just won't look as tight to the case as the pilot which has end links designed to fit exactly to the case.

So the band will be somewhat loose? Does anyone possibly have a picture of this set up for me to view?

Thanks.

Not loose - just a gap between the strap and the case - the pilot bracelet has specific end links that fit tight to the case - as you can see here - http://www.breitlingsource.com/watch_de ... er_59.html

The rouleaux has standard end links that will leave a slight gap between the case and the bracelet.
