My 2008 Chronomat evo bracelet is loose. The best way to describe it is, it has alot of "play" side to side against the links. Like all the bars are loose. Any easy fix???

Never come across anything like that myself. Usually the Breitling bracelets are extremely well fitting. It almost sounds like your bracelet has stretched but usually that is only common on much older bracelets and on designs that are more prone to stretching - those with hollow links. very odd why a 2008 bracelet would show signs of that. There's no easy fix that I can think of. Are you sure you haven't just started to notice a little play that was always there all along?

Just another thought - are all the screws tight enough?

Yeah the screws are all tight. It is up towards the head of the watch where their are no screws.

That is wierd. I have never noticed play in any of my Breitling bracelets. How about posting a picture of the watch in question.

Im pretty sure its normal. There is always gonna be some lateral play in the first link after the end link.
