Superocean Bracelet

Have a question. I'm helping a friend buy a Superocean Abyss, specifically...

Ref: A1736402|BA32|131A

It is basically this watch...


I think the lugs are 20mm and the bracelet tapering to 18mm. He wants it on the bracelet and I'm trying to find a source for them. Can anyone help me here? Is this the band I'd be looking for?

I see other similiar bracelets that are 22/20. I can't believe the Breitling website doesn't give the lug width.

Appreciate your help.

Not to be flip, but if he's buying the watch pictured, it already has a bracelet. Why are you looking for another?

According to Breitling Source, the lugs are 20mm, same as the old SuperOcean.

He wants it on a bracelet. If I find a good deal on a rubber strap one, where and how much is a OEM bracelet for it is my Q I guess. I guess the bracelet is 131A?

EDIT: he actually want's both, rubber and OEM bracelet.

I'm thinking your friend will come out ahead cost-wise if you find the best deal you can on one with a bracelet, then pickup a new rubber strap from an AD (about $110) or a used one on the forums.

BTW, I think I've seen about 3 or 4 nearly new SO IIs posted for sale on various forums just this week. Good time to be in the market for one.

Yeah, the yellow one with the bracelet is gone. :-(

I have that watch with the rubber deployment and it is really nice. But I am thinking about buying the s/s bracelet too. Any AD should be able to get you whatever bracelet you would like.
