| Post subject: | Assistance with clasp for 1969 bracelet |
Guys - looking for some help here on a bracelet. I have this 814 with what I believe is the original bracelet. It is not marked but the style certainly matches those pictured in the catalogs of that time. Attachment: image.jpg The previous owner at some point replaced the original clasp. i am trying to reinstate it with either the original, style or something close to the original style. So, a few questions (i) in your opinion, is the bracelet original to the watch? (ii) what was the original clasp stytle (iii) any ideas other than what I am showing below for replacement? I believe somewhere in my travels I say that the original clasp looked in this style: Attachment: image.jpg And I have found these from Cousins in the UK Attachment: clasp 1.jpg Attachment: clasp 2.jpg Thoughts? Advice appreciated. |

and also, if I do find a correct or close to correct clasp, I could then be in the position of needed an extra link or 2 for the bracelet. So, ideas or sources for that appreciated as well. Thanks in advance. |

Fred - I think it was you that posted this original catalogue image? The image you just posted is a 3 fold style, and the catalogue has this "ladder style". Attachment: image.jpg I've been doing so much reading I can't remember why I think this but I thought that the older bracelet were bought in by breitling and not Breitling branded? |

Still no luck in locating a clasp - I was able to find a link so hopefully the length is fine now. If anyone has a "Breitling Geneve" stamped clasp that they are willing to part with, please let me know. |
