Cant find Breitling pro 3 rubber with deployant strap

[Katarsis]

Have you installed one of these rubber straps before ? If not here is a link. You don't get any extra chances such as adding a link back to a stainless bracelet.

No I haven't. Thank you!

It would be a shame cutting it to short.

I already have a very expensive STAIB mesh that is to short.

Here comes another stupid question.

Is it the same clasp for a steel braclet and a rubber?

No stupid question.. Especially since you suspicion is correct.
They are not the same.
Also deployant for leather is also different.
Greetz!

I was wondering because both of them connects with springbars.

I couldn't find any information except for this.


Design to fit 18mm, 20mm or 22mm Buckle Mesh, Metal or Silicone Watch Strap in thickness approx. 4 - 5mm

It is far from a stupid question. I have used the same AN deployant on my rubber straps and mesh. I did this to avoid all the side holes on the lesser quality deployant that comes with the mesh bracelets. The one big problem is you can't remove the mesh bracelet once the deployant is installed. There is no space for the spring bar tool. I have another AN deployant inbound. When it arrives I am going to see if I can modify it to make room for the spring bar tool

But it's not possible the other way around?

What is stopping me from putting the clasp from the steel braclet on a rubber strap?

Is the rubber to thick?

There is no problem using the AN Deployant on Mesh or rubber. But if installed on the mesh you can't remove it. If you buy the lesser quality it has 6 spring bar holes on each side to allow for removal and adjustment. I will take some photos for you tomorrow.
Here are the photos I promised. I hope this explains why you can't remove the mesh once you install it. The rubber will bend when you insert the spring bar tool.

I understand.

How many mm is it from springbar to springbar on that clasp?

20mm. The mesh bracelets are tapered from 24mm to 20mm and 22mm to 20mm depending if you buy the 42mm, 44mm, or 46mm SOH's.

I'm sorry. I meant the length of the clasp from one point of attachment to the other.

I will measure with the clasp closed from spring bar to spring bar tonight. Are you using the length to determine which size Staib to buy ?

I already have a Staib but unfortunately it is about 5mm to short.

I'm trying to figure out a way to make it longer.

Here are the dimensions for the AN Deployant in the closed position from spring bar to spring bar.
Longest position 30mm
Shortest position 20mm

On my 42mm SOH the deployant is set for 24mm

My wrist is 165mm . I have bought the 150mm length Staib

Where can one find an AN clasp? TDs can’t seem to get them.

@TimeDweller27 My TD just shipped me one today along with a watch. I use Lucy at Truetime168. You have to email her. She does not work weekends based on China time. Her email is [email protected]
She is not fast ..just exceptional. Here is a link to her reviews.
