I have a Superocean Professional that I bought very cheap. On the back it says A17045 and has a number under that is 1902. I sent it off to Breitling for a total overhaul. The watch is real tight on my wrist so I will need either some length added to it or a new watch band.


What would you guys do? If I bought a new band or if I bought some links where should I look and what would I look for Breitling gave me a price of $404.75 to get it working and looking like new. I only have about $85.00 total in this watch so I think this will be worth it.

Here are a cpl pics of the watch

Thanks for the input,
Shawn

People sell links here, and on ebay, etc. You can take a look at bracelet prices, and consider buying a different one, and selling your current one. It's more hassle, but it might be better economically if you can do it. You can even consider selling it and upgrading.

As a final alternative, you can sell me the watch for $500 when you get it back, and look for something else.

I'd get a Diver Pro or even a calf strap.

Ask Breitling for a price on a new link and add it to the bracelet.
