The butterfly catch on my current 20mm Rouleaux stainless steel bracelet has worn down so that it won't stay closed and I am wondering if I need a new bracelet or just a new catch. Does anyone have any ideas on whether I need a new catch or will I need to buy a complete new bracelet? If so, where can I find one at less than dealer cost?

Thanks very much.

I doubt you owill find a NOS Roleaux bracelet anywhere. My first option would be to visit a watchmaker and ask him/her if he can manage the existing bracelet. An AD will probably not do that, maybe a service center, but my first bet would be an "ordinary" watchmaker.

I would bet that the bracelet has replaceable parts. You can contact your local Breitling dealer and they can check it out for you.
