1171 Bracelet Buying Advice

danilichti · Feb 22, 2020

Hello,

I have been on the look for a 1171/1 bracelet for my 1983 Speedmaster for some time and have now stumbled over this ad on my local "ebay".
From the little research I did on the 1171 Bracelets, I would say it is authentic altough it doesn't have any endlinks.

What would be an appropriate price (-range) to buy a strap in this condition without endlinks?

Thanks for you help.

The clasp may say 1171/1 but that looks rather different to an original. Compare the link shape to a google stock pic. The fixed straight end links will be a pain, you’ll have to bend them off I would think. I would wait to find an original.

Well, those are not 1171 or 1171/1 bracelets... The clasp is a modern 1171/1 clasp that you can still buy new from any Boutique. What I have noticed is that the price for used 1171/1 are not that much lower then just buying a new bracelet plus endlinks and clasp from Omega. They still sell the 1171/1-633. 633 are the correct endlinks for a 1171
