How do I add a link to the Breitling 20mm Rouleaux (bullet) Bracelet if I want to do it myself?
Are there any guides with pictures available online?

I believe the links on those (beautiful Bracelets) are drift pin connected. If so you will need a removal tool (not expensive and available on the internet).

You don't have to buy anything.
Just use a sturdy sewing needle. It's very easy to do!

The perfect combo! and looks great with any sewing kit I'm sure.

Just a little note of caution, similar to the fact the Pro1 bracelet has two ways of linking together [older=pins, newer=screws], there are two ways a Rouleaux is linked together.
They can be spring bars or pins.
I found out once when trying to drift a spring bar. :oops:
Pins are more common though, but it is wise to check before the event.

Yes. It is, and it does look good with a sturdy needle beside it for the one time one will adjust it.
But hey, feel free to buy a special tool with Breitling written on it to satisfy the snob appeal!
:lol:

My understanding is that Breitling tools are made of milk bottle tops.
I meant that about the perfect watch and bracelet combo.

The ribbing was gentle, on my jumper, sorry that's knitting isnt it.
