Post subject:  PRO II Bracelet for Steelfish & Seawolf
Hi Guys,
I am seriously thinking about getting a new Seawolf. Does anyone know if the PRO II Bracelet is the same for both the Steelfish and Seawolf? I know the lug width is 22mm for both watches, but I am wondering if there are any differences at all in the bracelets. The reason I ask, is that my Steelfish has the PRO II, and if I get the Seawolf with the Diver Pro, I can change the Diver Pro with the PRO II and save some money.
I think the PRO II is now about $500.00 by itself.
I used to think that all PRO II bracelets were the same, and they may well be. Just thought I would make sure.
Thanks for any info.
Cheers,
Carl

The SOS uses 134A end links, and the old titanium seawolf used 133E, as far as I know (somebody with a seawolf can chime in). If the case of the new and old seawolf are the same, id imagine that the new one used 133A end links (ot whatever the old one used but with an "A" at the end instead of an "E."

As RJRJRJ already said,these aren't interchangeable because of the end links and materials.
New steel SW uses a 147A bracelet, which also has a different end links than 134A.

Thanks you guys! Just to get this straight in my mind: The SO Steelfish uses 134A links, and the new Seawolf uses 147A. I thought that the PRO II on the Seawolf also looked a bit "beefier" than the one on the Steelfish. I had to check out the Technical Data section on the Breitling website, to make sure it was not a 24mm bracelet. Well, I guess I shall have to see then. Looks like I will need to spend an extra few hundred bucks. My AD has a Seawolf, but with the Diver Pro.
Thanks for your help. Never fails to amaze me, the amount of knowledge on this forum!
Cheers,
Carl

The bracelets should be the same. Both are 22/20 Pro II. The difference is the last link that connects the bracelet to the case. Different models cases have different curves that the end links have to fit. If you find a good deal on a stelfish bracelet you may be able to buy it and have your AD order the correct end links. Not sure about the cost though.

I asked my AD to check into it yesterday. He is going to find out if he can get the correct end links, then I can replace the end links on my Steelfish bracelet with them. We compared the two PRO II bracelets, the one on my Steelfish and one they had on a Seawolf Chrono. They are indeed identical except for the end links. I don't know what the end links will cost, but at least I will know whether or not it can be done. I don't feel like spending $500. on a new PRO II if I can use the one I already have. That will likely not be for quite awhile, though, as I found the OR I bought for my Steelfish looks awesome on the Seawolf.
Cheers,
Carl
