Hi Guys,

Ive recently become the proud owner of a Breitling Navitimer A24322 with SS band, this was an inheritance from a late uncle and I am very lucky to receive this in his will.
This is a gorgeous watch however, I have a conundrum, im in dire need of a few extra links, as with the supplied extra link and @ full clasp adjustment it is still too snug for my liking,

as Im new to the world of breitling, and I live in somewhat of a rural area within Australia, i need to find out as to where I can

1. Find a 2nd hand or new link or two
2. Find a tan leather band

If anyone can possibly help me it would be much appreciated

Regards
Wilhelm

Welcome aboard!

A leather strap (genuine Breitling or otherwise) can be found easily on the interwebs. Poke around here and you'll find several discussions about various after-market straps. The advertisers of the site (at least some anyway) sell genuine Breitling ones. If you're going to order a Breitling one, I'd recommend going through them.

As for the links, that's going to be trickier. I would start by posting a WTB ad in the But/Sell/Trade forum here, you never know. If that comes up dry just expand your search a little.

Good luck with it. I'm sorry about your uncle, but I'm glad to hear you have a timepiece that brings you pride and joy, and hopefully some great memories.

Sorry to hear about your Uncle but what a wonderful thing it is to have the wristwatch handed down, I hope you keep up the tradition by handing it down to someone else in the family if the far off distant future :wink:
I think the Navi looks stunning on leather and that would be the way I would go. it will give you more time to hunt out links for the bracelet as well!
