Breitling metal bracelet

[Blues]

Hi all, new to this forum.

Can anyone suggest where I could buy a metal bracelet for a Breitling SuperOcean Professional, in matt/brushed steel? The watch model number is A17345 and is discontinued.

Failing this, where might I buy a black leather strap for it?

Many thanks for you help

Hello!

Breitling straps are mega money, so beware anything on the bay that looks suspiciously cheap!

As for leather straps, if you want something chunky, look no further than toshi:

If you want something dressier, have a look at:

Hirsch and Di Modell are supposed to be quite good quality

Thanks chaps.
Paddy - did you buy that new one? I asked about the colt strap, and was advised that it wouldn't fit. My watch is the SuperOcean Professional, which is in a brushed/matt finish, so I am looking for a matching strap.

Andy - I'll have a closer look at that site, however you know how much of a tart i am. I'd much prefer one with the Breitling logo.

Warren - those look good quality and good value. The branded bracelet has curved top links that fit around the watch case. These all seem to be straight. Have you bough from them before, and did you encounter this same problem?

I think you mean Darren.

I have one (bought secondhand from TZ-UK) on my Breitling Colt and whilst the ends are straight, it doesn't bother me too much because the curvature of the case isn't pronounced, if you see what I mean.

I've bought OEM Breitling straps etc from here:

I would never have classed you as a tart my good fellow!

A Breitling leather/croc strap with logo'd buckle/deployant will set you back £300+ A replacement bracelet you'll be looking at £400+ Anything less will be a fake.

The thing is - the Breitling straps won't be any better quality than a £50-60 non Breitling one! An aftermarket bracelet on the other hand, won't have the weight or quality feel of an OEM one...

(For clarity strap=leather/croc, bracelet=metal)
