Other than the Pilot and Pro, you could consider a mesh bracelet, if you like the look of a mesh bracelet.
Here is my Breitling mesh on my Chronomat to give you some idea.
Also some aftermarket options:

| Post subject: | Colt 44 Bracelet options? |
My apologies if this has been covered before, I searched and couldn't find anything, probably because the Colt 44 doesn't seem to be held in much regard here. I am considering a Colt 44 as a daily wear and wondered what my options are for Breitling bracelets? Will be visiting the AD shortly but the site only lists the Professional. I like the Pilot or Pro II, do these fit? Are there any aftermarket bracelets which others recommend if no Breitling ones are available? Thanks in advance for any help. |

I don't have the end link code (but your AD will), but the correct bracelet is the Pro II. There is no Pro I designed for the Colt 44 and a Pilot won't fit properly because end links are designed to match the case that the bracelet is made for. |

I believe that only bracelet that will fit is Pro3, ref#-157A. |

I just double checked because I still have a Colt 44 on the ProII bracelet and the ref is 157A. The ProIII on the Colt is ref 173A. |

Thanks everyone for all the great information, more than I could hope for. Unsure of my final choice but I am partial to Pro II. Bnewbie I am smiling at your username Bnewbie (assume stands for Breitling Newbie). I am guessing after 12,000 posts and 7 years you aren't quite a newbie any more?  Thanks Wessa, Roffensian, Wim and Bnewbie |

Your assumption is correct. I've learned some things in the past seven years, but learning never ends. Forums like this are great treasuries of knowledge. Welcome aboard.
