Hi all,

I have a Breitling Navitimer World on a black croc strap with deployment clasp and really like the idea of having it on a bracelet for a while. The thing is, I really can't bring myself to fork out circa £800 for the official bracelet.

I believe - and please, please correct me if I'm wrong! - I need a 24mm bracelet fitting.

Will something like this fit my Breitling? : http://www.watchworx.co.uk/pages/mwb/stainless.htm...

Has anyone got any experience of swapping the straps out? Is is foolhardy of me to try with my most expensive bit of trivial man-jewelery??

Any advice welcomed.

Cheers,

Phantom

Yes you will need a 24mm bracelet.

They are very easy to remove/refit as they are fitted with a springbar.

This would also suit as a value alternative, although the bracelet you have chosen also looks pretty good.

I have the 22mm version.

Which one, mate? The shark one above, or the one I have ordered?

The one you ordered. It is almost bulletproof and will make your Navi twice as heavy, so as long as you bear that in mind...


"The T34 is a very heavy watch bracelet made from solid block stainless steel -
if you have a 44mm Panerai, big divers or similar large scale watch the T34
bracelet will not be disappoint ! "
