Guys, I have a couple of potentially stupid questions, but would be grateful if anyone could help.

1) Will a Pilot bracelet Ref: S0507 361D fit an Antares World? It has a 20mm straight end and is advertised as fitting [Breitling] Windrider watches, but I can't get specific confirmation on its suitability for the AW.

2) I would guess the total available length is the length of the bracelet plus the lug-to-lug measurement of the watch, right? I'm asking because I think the bracelet might be a bit snug.

Thanks!!

Bracelet is for a Chrono Cockpit, doubt that it would fit properly. You would have to ask the seller whethert they are giving you the length of the bracelet or bracelet + watch.

I think difference must be in the relative thicknesses of the two cases -- the Chrono-Cockpit is 14.8mm while the Antares World is only 9mm. I called the Breitling boutique in London. They have absolutely no idea.....New York says it "might" fit. I'm not exactly filled with confidence.

I wonder if it's possible to buy the end pieces separately, provided the old pilot bracelet is consistent across all models..do you know? Thanks for your help, by the way...

Endlinks are the only things that are different. I don't have end link codes for the Antares World, but bnewbie may know.

Correct bracelet would be "ANTA WORLD" on the end links.

Yes, I've seen an example stamped ANTA. WORLD online......

The official distributor here in London gave me additional codes in addition to the two main (product?) codes (313a and 313d) for AW bracelets: "AACP" and "AAOP." These might actually pertain to the end pieces, although the people I spoke to had no idea -- in fact, they seemed completely uninterested. Searching for these codes online renders no results, unfortunately.

Thanks again for your help, guys.
