What 22mm models would the fighter bracelet fit.

Is it just a case of having the end links for any 22mm breitling model and
using them with the fighter pilot bracelet.

Thanks

Colin

Well yes, in theory, but if the end links aren't fighter bracelet endlinks it's going to look a bit weird.

Sorry but I not sure I agree with that Roff, a fighter bracelet is basically a Pro 2 with brushed middle links, And the end links are polished not brushed, All the other end links are polished as well (unless the bracelet is brushed as in Blackbirds etc) so it would look no different at all, Or have I got it wrong again. :oops:

Hi Phil,

I think the end links on a fighter bracelet are slanted to level up the links were as the ones on my SF and AS are straight.

The opposite end to the one that goes onto the watch case.

And i may be wrong :(

Yeah, if you put them side by side you'll see the differences. It's not dramatic, but it would annoy the heck out of me (but that's me).

I may be missing the plot as well. That looks good but how does it look on the watch head?

Dont have a steelfish to test it one so dont know but the B1 links are flat and the Steelfish is rounded so they wont fit on my B1 but Id be happy to say it would fit easily any 18-24mm watch if you have the correct end links.
