I've found a steel bracelet which i hope will fit my b13050.

It says what LOOKS like chronodg eytc, but also has a M0197 stamped on it...what does that represent?

bnewbie is our strap and bracelet expert but the old bracelets are stamped with abbreviations of the models that they fit so I assume that the chrono means Chronomat. 0197 will be the manufacture week / year (January 1997).

Thanks for the help guys.

Funnily enough, i seen the round bits on the underside and it did look a bit strange. With the sellers feedback i figured it was trustworthy... :?:

Just after Purchasing a pilot SS and I have not seen the said marks on any bracelet. These are over 900GBP from AD so really they should at least make 500GBP on grey ao second second hand market any thing well below that I would be very wary of.

Post subject:  Re: Chrono bracelet markings
it's a replica as i said before, i cannot imagine that Breitiling made links with those circular marker and there are not even on my Pilot bracelet of Chronomat 1997... that in fact it is identically to a 2010 Pilot one..
