Post subject:  common Navitimer World Bracelet?
I just bought a Navi World two days ago with a brown croc deployment. Today I went back to get a steel bracelet only to learn that there is only one option and its about $1400 bucks (without discount)

Upon further review though it appears there are more option than what BUSA suggests in their pricing manual. I ended up with mesh, which I think looks unique (pics attached).....Is this something common? A mesh band on the Navi World?

I think most people opt for the linked bracelet or the calf strap. I don't see much on here of the rubber/croc/mesh/air racer variety.

This doesn't mean they're not out there - just that it's not super-common.

Agreed that the standard link bracelet or leather (croc or not) are most common, but do people even know that other bracelets are options for this dial? The BUSA pricing book supposedly lists the prices for all the different bracelet options for each dial, but it appears there are even more options.....I was wondering if this is common knowledge among Breitling aficionados or not. I'm new to the world.

I haven't noticed it so much on the heritage models that the mesh is designed for but the gap between the case and the bracelet looks really big on that.

Certainly a less common option, but if it works for you then nothing else matters.

Breitling bracelets are generally one option per watch because of the endlinks. The heritage bracelets have straight endlinks so they are more flexible.

Common or not, I have to applaud you for going against the grain and getting what works for you. This is the first combo of this type I have seen and it does look pretty sharp.

cool, thanks.

I really dig that bracelet and was happy that it worked on the Navi World. I'm new to Breitling and to the forum and so far I appreciate that everyone has a different opinion of what they like, but is still accepting of other looks......one thing I love so far is that changing the strap on the either my superocean or Navi World completely changes the look of the watch.

I just purchased a NaviWorld also (arrives Monday on a leather strap) and I was thinking of getting the bracelet. This might be a good option, too.
