cougaree Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 Guys, I just purchased this bracelet in a pretty deal. Do you think this will fit nicely onto my Breitling Skyland rep? The downside is that it only has one end piece, so I will have to look for the other one. The bracelet seems to be gen, so if it fits, I'll be super excited. Thanks!

cougaree Posted February 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 The bracelet is numbered Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plaifender Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 Is that a gen bracelet? with those rounded screws i would've guessed not. I thought gen screws were completely flat. If you'd like help about sizing.. more info would be nice. The lugs between the skyland are 22mm.. so if this bracelet is 22mm lug width then i think you're ok. You'll also have to find endlinks. The endlinks of your bracelet don't look like a good fit with the skyland... but not sure. Good luck with it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cougaree Posted February 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 Here are some more pictures. It's advertised as gen, so I hope it's gen. If it's not, please let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cougaree Posted February 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 The lug width is indeed 22mm, but I am more worried about the arch of the end piece, whether or not it's the same as the Skyland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plaifender Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 Not quite sure about the end pieces. The skyland bracelet looks like this: I'm not sure about your serial numbers.. but maybe a breitling expert can chime in here... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andreww Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 Skyland endlinks are completely flat where they meet the case. If yours are slightly curved (sorry, I cant see your pics at work) then its likely from another model, possibly a steelfish? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cougaree Posted March 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 Thanks guys for the reply! The curvature is opposite on a steel fish as on a skyland. The one I just bought looked like there was a little bit curve on the end link. Shoot... so it's probably not going to fit. Well, I'll have to find a pair of ends then. Any thoughts where I can find them? I contacted Trusty, but since I didn't buy the watch from him, he won't sell any Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cougaree Posted March 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 I just found that the bracelet was made for Breitling B-1. The serial number may mean it's made in 1999 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agrippa Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 You might want to check with Tony @ asian7750.com. He's always been perfectly happy to sell me odds and ends, regardless of whether they're for watches I've gotten from him, or not. Worth a try anyway.

cougaree Posted March 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 (edited) Thanks for the recommendation! I just contacted him, so hopefully he will get back to me soon. Edited March 1, 2010 by cougaree Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andreww Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 Having now had the chance to see your pics, this doesn't look to be a pro II at all. More a combination of a pro I & pro II. The middle links are more bevelled like a pro I. Not sure if a skyland endlink will fit. It certainly isn't an accurate bracelet for that watch.

cougaree Posted March 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 Yep, I don't think it's made for Skyland. The only thing that attracts me for having this bracelet on my Skyland is that it may be more comfortable to wear than the rep. The price I got it for is pretty good, so... I found this to be a fighter bracelet, originally made for B-1, B-2 and Colt. http://donindiano.lanetcie.com/watches/breitling/bands/fighter_bracelet I have seen somebody at Watchuseek mounting a Skyland bracelet onto a Breitling B-1, but I don't know what they did to the end pieces for it to fit. I'll find out in the next couple weeks. I'll keep everybody posted. http://forums.watchuseek.com/showthread.php?t=319945 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
