Excellent, thanks for the replies. I actually emailed Omega direct and they asked for the full reference, I will try to pop into an OB at the weekend (although I live in Japan so it may be cheaper to buy in the UK and have someone ship to me). Does anyone have an idea of the price? (GBP or USD)
Yes I have read it can be tricky and some filing may even be required.

I have just come across the 020STZ011626.
It seems to be a more sturdy version with the more classic look. Has anyone seen it in the flesh not sure whether to go for that instead or accept the charm of the tinny feel on the 1171.
Strictly speaking you can't currently buy a 1171-1, that was around in the 80s and 90s, the current model is back to being named just 1171/633. Maybe that is what is confusing Omega. The bracelet has changed many times over the years since it was introduced in the early 1970s, its had screws, push pins and all manner of clasp logo designs. 1171 describes around 6 different designs.

if you can find one you pay almost 2x for it.
