The Breitling Watch Source Forums

Hi all

Hope I have posted this in the correct place.

I have a breitling Colt A17035. When I 1st got it I had a leather strap which is long gone.

I would like to get a stainless steel bracelet. (I think I Need an 18mm one, is that right?)

I have found an 18mm 821A but there are no end links with it? I think they are the link on each side of the watch. Does anyone know where I could get these from and how much they would be?

I am in kent in the uk if that helps.

Thanks all

Bud

Your watch has 18mm lugs: http://www.breitlingsource.com/watch_de ... e_160.html

Sources for links include a dealer, Breitling UK, ebay, sellers on boards like this and watchuseek.

Thanks wrangler

Do you know if the links will fit ok on that watch strap and my watch?

Thanks

The experts can chime in, but I think you need a Professional or Professional II bracelet. If the one you are looking at is the one on ebay UK, it looks like a Professional 2005 to me.

821a is a Pro I bracelet and I believe that it is now unavailable through ADs.

You can't just look at bracelet width, the end links are unique to each model. 821a is for the Colt Quartz I believe, but I think that it is also the one for the Colt Auto of that era, they are virtually identical cases.

I'm a bit confused about the statement that it's an 821a without endlinks though - the 821a markings are only on the end links, without them so does the seller just 'know' what bracelet it is?? I think that the only option now is to try a WTB ad here or to keep an eye on eBay.

Yes it is the on ebay uk that i am looking at. Would that fit my colt? (which is this one http://www.breitlingsource.com/watch_de ... e_160.html)

Sorry but what is a WTB?

As I said, I have 821a identified as a Colt Quartz bracelet, but I think that it fits the auto as well - bnewbie will know for sure.

WTB = Want to Buy.

So maybe that bracelet on ebay UK is not the 821a?

The original bracelet for A17035 is hollow end links ProI 820A.
I have one almost mint with all links, willing to sale.
Drop me a PM with your email for the photos, if you are interested.
I can also sell you it's original blue Diver strap with a buckle, in a very good condition for a bargain.
