So I am about to take delivery of a second hand Antares - which will be my first Breitling . I know it is coming with a non Breitling strap which I would like to replace with a cheap (and I mean really cheap) bracelet. I will have to save both the cash and brownie points to get a genuine pilot bracelet. :wink:

Has anyone any suggestions?

Thank you,

Renny

Thank you for the link. Can I ask does the pilot normally have curved ends?

Thanks again

The picture of the Antares on the models section of this site shows the watch with a bullet bracelet, but the edge of the case appears to be straight. Therefore, I'm not sure curved ends on a bracelet would fit well with that model, if it would fit at all. In fact, it seems to be a characteristic of all the Windrider cases in general that the case edges are straight between the lugs, so I'm not sure why that fake "Pilot" has curved endpieces.

I now have the watch and you are right in that it requires a straight end.

The strap on there is not as blue as I thought so the bracelet can wait a little while. I'm just very pleased that I am now the owner of a superb watch. :D
