What do you guys think of the Bullet/Rouleaux bracelet? Do you think Breitling should have kept it and made a 22mm version? I really like the Bullet bracelet on my old school Chronomat as it gives me a somewhat more vintage look to my Breitling for days when I dont need the audacity of a Chronomat Evo. I would have liked to see a 22mm larger chunkier bullet bracelet for the Evo... maybe with bigger bullets! Its cheaper than a pilot bracelet too.

I've never been able to warm to this bracelet. I guess the vintage look is not my cup of tea.

I already feel "vintage". I dont wear anything that makes me feel more vintager. Thats why I dont wear parachute pants or a Members Only jacket anymore. Don't get me wrong, I still have them I just dont wear them.

I had parachute pants and a Members Only jacket, and I got rid of them. If I had a Chronomat on a Rouleaux, I'd still have it. From a similar perspective, for most of the run of Seinfeld, Jerry wore a Chronomat on a Rouleaux. Everything else from that show looks dated, but that watch still looks great, at least to my eyes, and I'm no retro junkie. But to each his own. I wouldn't trade a Pilot for it, but I still think it's a great looking combo.

Yes...had. Unlike the OP, I don't know that a larger version of it would work with the Evo, let alone Breitling's current direction in style. But on pre-Evo Chronomats, it looked great. I'd love an a13352 on either a Pilot or a Rouleaux. (OK, I'd prefer it on a Pilot, but if I had two, one of them would be on a Rouleaux.)

Easily the most comfortable bracelet Breitling ever created.

If you happen to come across any of the crappy old retro watches in your parachute pants that look like this please let me know..

I won't give much but we can work out something.. :drool:
