The Breitling Watch Source Forums

Hi, got this fine piece...



Its on the "Fighter" bracelet, It would be nice to have some straps also, where can i find(on the net) straps that would fit in size and lenght the case is 22mm between the lugs and the uts is 18 mm i belive.

Thanks in advance

Toni(in Sweden)

Congrats - beautiful piece

Depending on your wrist size, you may be able to combine these two (exact same strap, different lug width). They are very short, but adding the uts may give a great fit
(...measures are in the description - so grab a calculator )

'Watchbandcenter' is a very reliable vendor with scandinavian shipping (fast and cheap!)

Will do when i decide what to put on, i also might try a two-piece ZULU...could be cool.

Heres a snap of the B1 on a regular OEM calf...





Cheers

Looks fantastic!

...but it would be something else to be able to keep the uts on there too

Hi,
I've just got a grey B1, I'm thinking the same thing as well - despite the fact that I'm not fortunate enough to have a UTC ... (lucky b%$%^!)

I have been wondering how a brown croc would look, I've had mine on a black calf and a Diver Pro - just waiting for an Ocean Racer to appear.

Cheers

If you can't get OEM Breitling, your best option IMHO would be to get one custom made by someone like ABP-Paris -

Super quailty and they will make it exactly to you specifcation. And you can choose from some excellent leather options. Frog skin maybe? Emu? Beaver tail???

Great stuff, in need of some fine BEAVER

The interlug on the B1 UTC is 19mm so be careful, the 20mm strap would have to be forced.

Hi Claus,

The buckle on one appears to be 20mm and on the other 16mm - bit of slack there.

Good point - hadn't thought that far
...still think something simular could be fun and different - but with your latest discovery in mind - one should probably have a custom strap made, from one of the fantastic strap makers around

I say go for it - pics please

I have ducked n dived on this hence the DIY spare UTC/Bracelet.

Love thinking around problems though ;_)

Hi,

Great combo

Breitling do sell an OEM strap for the B1 & UTC. It's about £90.00....but may have gone up as I bought mine a few months ago.

I ordered a deploy for my BB+ a couple of months ago as well for 90.

Had a call last week saying 150, got my refund sorted this morning and am looking at this ABP company.

(you good Dave?)
