Utheman Posted November 13, 2011 Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 So I've been looking for a bracelet for my 70's era Breitling for a long, long time. The watch came originally with a cheap leather strap that is long gone and was never offered on a bracelet, so I've been wearing it on other leather straps which look pretty good. I've always liked to have a bracelet option for my watches, but I could never find one to go with this watch. I finally found one that I think works pretty good and it's comfortable too. It's a NOS gold tone bracelet, also from the 70's, from Times Of Plenty and pretty much completes the retro look. The color match is not quite perfect, but almost and I really like how the watch side end links blend into the side of the watch. Also the brushed surface of the bracelet matches pretty good with the sunburst style surfacing on the watch case. What do you all think?

krpster Posted November 13, 2011 Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 I think it looks great! It does blend really well both colour and style wise. Very tough to match but I don't imagine you can find any better than that. Nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fireman_Fred Posted November 13, 2011 Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 Not something I would wear myself (I'm not a gold watch sort of person) but that bracelet really goes well with the watch - a huge improvement over the leather strap.

maxman Posted November 13, 2011 Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 I think It looks really good W...I have much love for everything Breitling But Im not a big gold fan when It comes to watches...I must admit....not a one In my collection.

Utheman Posted November 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 Thanks guys. FF and Mike, I totally agree with you about not being a gold watch guy - I don't like to wear any gold jewelry. But I do wear it when my father in law is in town (since he gave me the watch) so it's gotta be comfortable and the bracelet works for that.

Dave123 Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 Looks really good. Kinda got that Pro II look to it. Great minds think alike. I thought the same thing. Though the Pro2 would be a little agressive for the old school look of this watch,i think the look of this bracelet with this watch is a good blend of both. A real winner. Enjoy it man,it is really nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
