For sale: one Breitling Pro I bracelet. From a 1998 Superocean A17040 project watch, with 861A hollow endlinks and pins. Selling to generate funds to fix up the head, which needs movement attention and a new crystal (£££). It's in great original condition, and the clasp is nice and tight. It's got some stretch (as with all used Pro Is) but these are tough bracelets and it has loads of life left. The endlinks are spot-on, fit tightly and are rattle-free when on the watch. Centre links are brushed, outers polished. I've had it ultrasonically cleaned, thanks to a local friendly jeweller, and gently restored the outer links. The centre links have also had a re-brush and it hasn't been overdone, so all the links are the original shape.

It'll fit all Superoceans up to 2010 (which were sold with either Pro I or Pro II bracelets in their time), also the Shark and the Colt Chrono. I'm also informed it'll fit newer Superoceans too, as the case is the same shape.

I don't think the bracelet had ever been off the watch before I removed it to clean it up, so it's unmarked underneath. It has 14 visible links and will fit just over a 7" wrist on its outermost microadjustment.

Am fairly new to this forum and have just bought my second Breitling - and first as a "project" - so looking forward to sticking around. Perhaps this bracelet will be useful for someone working on their own project - these bracelets (esp endlinks) aren't available new any more, not from Breitling UK anyway. Asking £150 plus shipping costs - bracelet is in the UK. The pound is quite low at the moment, so this is only $225 or €175.

Thanks!

Bump to the top... PayPal is OK, by the way (bracelet located in UK so BT for British buyers also fine).

Hi

Do you still have this? I am in HK but have a bank account in the UK so could do the transfer (or PayPal is fine but for some reason it takes a few days to credit my account and I currently have less than GBP150 in my PayPal account).

Thanks

John

There are lot of Colt Chronos.
Your bracelet will fit Colt Chrono Auto A13035 and Colt TransOcean A53340.

Thanks - I should say it won't fit the older Colt Chrono quartz (which has 18mm lugs) or the newer Colt Chrono II - at least, if you can get it to fit, the fit may not be perfect!

Anyway, this is still in my watch drawer, so still available...
