Breitling Emergency Bracelet
Question - I have the original Breitling Emergency and want to put the newer bracelet on it. Is that possible?
I purchased a titanium professional bracelet but it came with 130E end links - from what I’m seeing I need 138E… can anyone confirm? Appreciate any insight if anyone had done this - I don’t believe there was a case change so I’m assuming it’s just an end link swap. Here’s a pic of the bracelet I purchased: Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’ve seen two other posts on different forums through a Google search regarding the same topic but no one followed up with a conclusion lol.

Emergency bracelet is hard to find?
I have been looking for a used Pro I bracelet for a few years already.

I don’t believe hard to find. Just need to figure out a solution to the end links on this particular one.

The case was not changed right? Have you compared the two different # end links and mated to your case?
I believe it is merely a complete swap. My end links are marked 863E and my bracelet is a 904. I bought my watch new in the early 2000's. I can check the paperwork, if you need. Looking at your 130E link, it has a "bump" build up at the ends of the link at the spring pin location. My 863e links do not have these protrusions. I am assuming it is to keep the end link 9and bracelet) in a more "fixed" position to the case, much like Rolex started to do to keep the bracelet in a more "round" natural position with the solid end links, right ? Funny thing, I was thinking about updating my Emergency bracelet as well. Following this . . .

I have a call into my watchmaker friend that has a fellow watchmaker friend at Breitling. Trying to get info. Would prefer to just swap the end links if possible. What bracelet do you have? Any pics? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
