The Breitling Watch Source Forums

The answer to my question.
I recently purchased a Breitling model A57035 , my first so this is all a learning process to me. The bracelet has no ends. Through
this wonderful forum I have been informed that the 820a (821a brushed) bracelet end pieces are what I require. Today my jeweler informed me that he was confident any 18mm curved Breitling end piece will fit because he can laser drill the links if necessary.
I was wondering if this sounds correct .
Thank you. I respect your opinions and am enjoying the forum.

It sounds very incorrect! The fit of the link to the case will be off unless you get the right endlinks.

Thank you. I took your advice and-
I sent the bracelet out to Breitling USA. They checked their stock and do not have the end pieces. They even checked with Switzerland . They don't have them either. The search continues.
Happy holidays all !
