did anyone tryed to mount on the SOH 42 other breitling bracelet than the mesh? I see from the references here on breitlingsource that all these bracelets have straight end links (not sure about size availability btw): http://www.breitlingsource.com/bracelet_pilot.shtml http://www.breitlingsource.com/bracelet ... nal2.shtml http://www.breitlingsource.com/bracelet_speed.shtml Are all these suitable? Anyone tryed and wishes to share some pics? |

No other bracelet will fit properly, because the end links are case specific. You could probably get a different bracelet to fit, but won't fit properly, and will cause damage to the case. |

Not quite because there are some pilot and speed and navi bracelets with straight ends, not fitted end links, similar to the mesh. I think that is what the OP is getting at, though the Pro II and Pilot he linked are case-specific end links. |

Even for the models that do have straight end links, there is no guarantee that the holes will line up properly for the spring bar. |

I choosed those bands because, from their pictures, it looked to me like they had straight end links. So I was wondering if someone experimented to answer MattC about hole positioning |

A member here, mfserge, once put a pilot bracelet on a Transocean, which is only available on the mesh bracelet. It seemed to fit well. |

I put a straight end link Navi on a TO to see if it might work, it did, but the lugs were still too long for my wrists.  That said, the SOH is the only model I prefer with the mesh - it just looks right to me. The TO with the mesh is an odd look despite the "history" thing. |

As from this post viewtopic.php?f=12&t=32208 Both speed and pilot should work |
