Master Chief Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 Dear Members... I got ETA 7750 Skyland v.2 from good member.. It is a amazing watch! I really like it. I'm consider buy GEN bracelet from here: http://www.authenticwatches.com/breitling-avenger-skyland-professional-ii-bracelet-132a.html 132A NEW BREITLING AVENGER SKYLAND 22/20 STEEL PROFESSIONAL II BRACELET - Free Shipping - NO SALES TAX (Outside California) - 7" Polished Steel Pro 2 Bracelet - Deployment Buckle - Fits All Breitling Avenger Skyland Models But, I'm not sure it will fit perfectly or not. because REP bracelet is a little bit gap between endlink and lug. Please give me a your advice, anyone who bought a GEN bracelet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bike Mike Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 Take a measurement between the lugs. Should be a hair bigger then 22mm. If so the Gen will fit in width. The only other difference is the distance between the case and spring bar holes. With a little time a love you can make this fit as well but should be pretty close from the get go. Maybe the little bending of the spring bar might be required. Authentic Watches is over priced on their bracelets and straps. Just look at their price on a Pro 1 Diver strap $275! The AD sells them for about $100! I would go to a AD if you have one available. They should be able to do at least 10-15% off MSRP on the bracelet. Just keep the rep at home.

So, it need to bend springbar to fit well, right? It means GEN bracelet will not fit perfectly, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No not necessarily. You MAY have to do that in order to make it fit. Or you may have to lightly work over the end link with a file to make it fit. No way of knowing until you get it. I just measured my Gen bracelet end link. Width: 0.865" = 21.971mm Spring bar hole center to lug & case corner: .130 = 3.3mm If you can measure this and are close, you should be golden with no work!

andreww Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 You could also use the rep endlinks if the gen ones are too different. I still tink that the gen bracelet is too pricey a mod. I don't think it adds anything visually, and probably isn't that much more comfortable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On my Rep anyway, the clasp (where Breitling is inscribed) had a lot less sweep to it then the Gen causing it to not wrap the wrist as nicely. I found it to be comfortable, but not as comfortable as the Gen. Maybe someone can post a pic of the rep bracelet for a comparison. Gen.

I have a GEN chronomat (bracelet model), I can feel GEN is more solid, especially lock and unlock buckle. anyway, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
