Well, I finally received it. It is very nice, and came very well protected. No point in posting pics because they are already in the thread, but the quality is top notch and the weight is solid. Very satisfied even if the font isnt exactly like gen. Dunno about that.

I saw these on etsy. Obviously hard to tell the quality just from pictures, but the price is good.

Looks horrible for me- better take the clasp f.e. From post #18- I have the same- better font, quick adjustment…

Nice! Looks great. I was thinking about doing that. That's with the 18mm (for 20mm strap) clasp right? Breitling could just make a few refinements to that clasp (slim it down maybe and better , cleaner integration with the strap and use that on their bracelets. Then people would finally stop complaining about it and it woudl bump Breitling up quite a bit compared to its peers. I personally like the regular "crap" clasps. They're thin, plenty adjustable, super secure and have short length so they're not spanning the entirety of my wrist like the rolex and Omega do. Push button adjustability really is convenient though.

Beautiful. That's why I love polish. Looks absolutely gorgeous in the sun like that. What watch is that white strap attached to?

Did you end up getting one from this seller? One of these for 20mm straps is sounding pretty good.

I did, quality is very good, brushing is nice and engraving is deep and font is good. Overall very solid build.
I wanted to give a try to the now famous "mid-range" Ali clasp, it just landed this morning and it really is brilliant.
Polish and engravings, smooth edges and well done finishings, all look good. The built quality is impressive when using the mecanism : the clasp feels solid, perfect pressure on the buttons for opening and the locking is tight and precise. But the best of it is the "glidelock" : the central springed button works perfectly to move forward/backward, the system slides as if it was lubricated and precisely locks in place.
Honestly this clasp is way beyond usual replicas and way worth the extra money, it simply feels gen.
So nice that I order a gen Breitling rubber strap to complete the thing.
Great Ali stuff (for once !).

Hello everyone.
I raise the subject a little because I am looking for a folding clasp with micro adjustment, as if above.
By searching on Ali, I can't find, or I'm not looking with the right "key words"
Could a good soul help me ?
Here is the link to it on Ali :
It seems the price went up a bit since I bought it in 2021, but if the quality is the same it's still worth it for someone looking for a proper Bretling clasp.
