Put a (very reasonable) bid in for this 20mm bracelet and was surprised to win the auction. Like the design, clasp seems authentic and in line with the 70s transOceans I own. As I am in no way a bracelet expert - neither current nor vintage - does anybody know which model(s) these endlinks would fit ? thanks in advance for sharing your expertise, Fred

Unfortunately those style Breitling clasp/buckles can get swapped onto bracelets they don't belong on. I saw this auction and had my reservations about it's authenticity. Can't find an example of that bracelet on any Breitling. Doesn't mean I wouldn't think it would look good on a Breitling but I wouldn't claim it was original without a little more proof. The fact that it's 20mm would narrow down the list of popular Breitling's it might fit and that could be had with bracelets. |

Fred, can you post photos of any writing inside the clasp and a photo of the links from the side? You might have a vintage Kreisler there, possibly a JB Champion, or maybe it is a Japanese BEAR. All are nice bracelets, but I do not recall any of them being fitted to Breitlings. Someone feel free to correct me. |

Danomar, still do not have the bracelet, but will post a pic when it arrives. The clasp seems to be authentic and probably was mounted on some other bracelet, just as vintage says ..... even if it was quite cheap, it shows I should stick to things I know a little about :
