How do I add a link to the Breitling 20mm Rouleaux (bullet) Bracelet if I want to do it myself? Are there any guides with pictures available online? |

I believe the links on those (beautiful Bracelets) are drift pin connected. If so you will need a removal tool (not expensive and available on the internet). |

You don't have to buy anything. Just use a sturdy sewing needle. It's very easy to do! Cheers, Proud owner of a Rouleaux bracelet (attached to a Chronomat) for 22 years. |

Just a little note of caution, similar to the fact the Pro1 bracelet has two ways of linking together [older=pins, newer=screws], there are two ways a Rouleaux is linked together. They can be spring bars or pins. I found out once when trying to drift a spring bar.  Pins are more common though, but it is wise to check before the event. |

"The perfect combo! and looks great with any sewing kit I'm sure." Yes. It is, and it does look good with a sturdy needle beside it for the one time one will adjust it. But hey, feel free to buy a special tool with Breitling written on it to satisfy the snob appeal!

My understanding is that Breitling tools are made of milk bottle tops. I meant that about the perfect watch and bracelet combo. The ribbing was gentle, on my jumper, sorry that's knitting isnt it. |
