It's certainly consistent with an original bracelet, and Breitling did outsource bracelt production, but I'm not sure that the rest of the story is true. It's a long time since I saw an original bracelet from the 60s, but I think it had the B on the clasp. I think that this is a Breitling style, but not a Breitling. Chronodeco and Vintage may be able to correct me. |

Probably an authentic bracelet from the early sixties and probably purchased then new to replace the original leather strap. This was done a lot. However I'm pretty sure it's not a Breitling piece because it's simply not signed as such. All the early bracelets I've seen were signed. Paul |
