Hello all. I'm new to the forum but not to Breitlings. I've always had a huge passion for them and they have served me well throughout the years. I searched all I could to no avail, so I was hoping someone here could help me out. One of my Breitlings, an older Windrider's (# a53011) leather band is getting to that aged point of needing to be replaced. I know that it has a 20mm lug but I am curious if a 20mm Professional bracelet will fit up to it correctly. I love the look and feel of the Professional with my Chrono Avenger and would like it with my Windrider. I know the model originally would come with a Pilot bracelet but I'm not crazy about the design so I was curious if any other Breitling 20mm bracelet would fit it as well. I appreciate any help.

Thank you,
Tony

Actually the Chrono Sirius came with the bullet / rouleaux bracelet originally.

Breitling end links are unique and are not designed to be compatible across different models. However, because the end links for this model are essentially straight you might be able to get another Breitling bracelet that is 20mm lugs and straight endlinks to fit, but I would want to test it first. Only current bracelet that I can think of that would work would be the mesh.

Ah ok. I was able to get a Fighter bracelet to fit my Steelfish 44mm just fine so I thought I had more of a choice with my Windrider too. Kind of disappointing but thank you for the reply. The rubber straps should all work fine though right?
