·I took my recently acquired 145.022 off the 1479 bracelet, not because I don't like it but because I need to acquire another link. At the moment the clasp pops annoyingly open every time I flex my wrist and could result in a sudden meeting with the floor....
I had a 1171/1 bracelet on hand that was put onto my '76 Speedmaster by Omega at service back in the early 90s. At the time I quickly swapped this 1171 back to the original 1175 which was in good condition, more comfortable, in no need of replacement and luckily returned after the service.
Fitting the 1171 to my 145.22 I noticed that the 633 end pieces sit very low, is this normal?. Photo below of the 1171 and then a comparison shot with 1175/640.
I am tempted to take the bracelet off again to try and open the end links up so they sit a little higher against the case like the 640s but can't seem to find any definitive shots of how the links are supposed to sit. Grateful for any knowledge on this.
Thanks.
