The Breitling Watch Source Forums

A couple of futher pictures of my 809 with Moblot bracelet, i think the quality is fairly good myself. As i said, no idea if it was available as an option when new but appearance wise it is very similar to the bracelet in the original breitling advert, but that clearly doesn't make it the same!!

Yes, of course there is no guarantee that it was sold originally with Moblot bracelet, just saying that bracelet in the Breitling advert it looks like Moblot product to me and I can not find other option, so I still wonder

To be clear I did not claim anywhere that my Moblot bracelet is the one from 806 advertisement, just saying that in this advert bracelet looks like Moblot`s one - based on my knowledge that Breiling used Moblot`s bracelet as OEM I am trying to prove it, not only by example with mesh model like mine.
Therefore please do not jump to misleading conclusions.

Lot of buzz starting from your OP with pics of your Moblot bracelet , which is obviously different from Breitling ad. Difficult to understand what you intend to proof or check here ?

Would like to see the evidence to support "on my knowledge that Breiling used Moblot`s bracelet as OEM" and I think that we have already established that "in this advert bracelet looks like Moblot`s one" is not something that the forum community agrees with.

it does NOT look like the one from the 809 advertisement. Even if you repeat it over and over.

here's the main difference AGAIN:

the Moblot u show in the OP has mesh all through on the top, the "squared ends" you talk about are the underside of the bracelet - or is your theory the springbar mounting slits were meant to be worn on top ????



we've had a similar discussion on another forum, where you go on about the authenticity of your ParkerLing Frankenwatch - you will not get any endorsements for your claims here, I'm afraid.

putting this in a different post, this thread might become useful in the end ....

the mid/late 1950s SuperOcean bracelet has no manufacturer marking whatsoever, it is a tang buckle mesh strap actually.



The late 1960 mesh does have a manufacture mark, "HC"; Renè, could you check whether your bracelet has the same ? Did not find which company used that mark yet, maybe someone here knows ?

the top one came with the AVI and invoice
no OEM markers except 'stainless steel'
the bottom one has the same 'HC' markings as your Fred

(Great SO BTW ! , looks NOS with the sticker on the back ?)

thx, Renè; so now we'll have to find who HC is ....

the SOC is quite decent NOS, bracelet, box, not so bad ....

pppffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff

well, the receipt is missing .....

Please read with understanding and show me where exactly did I write that my Moblot is the one from 809 advertisement? As it is shown here I tried to find out what bracelet is it and for now nobody knows - ONCE AGAIN - I suggested it is Moblot bracelet in the advert BUT NOT THE SAME AS MINE (never claiming that it is the same like mine).
Simple as it is, so please drop this personal hostility.

Ok, so what is it if it is not a MOBLOT?

I have many bracelets starting with NSA, GF through Stelux, Moblot or Rowi and what concerning their quality I would place them as follow:

Best quality
1. GF
2. NSA
3. Moblot
4. Stelux
5. Rowi

Of course everything depends on the concrete piece, but it`s how I feel it.

No idea, but unlike yourself I have never claimed to have the knowledge of what was used (an unsubstantiated claim incidentally) or to claim that it looks like something that it doesn't look like.

A pointless debate which I see little point in partaking in further.
