Final piece arrived today, a steel seat belt clasp Ploprof bracelet. I love it.

Care to guess all the pieces?

Cheat sheet:

That's it. Still love an all original vintage Speedmaster. This was kindof liberating.

Franken projects can be a load of fun - you get to stretch your creative muscles without being constrained by collector correctness. Nicely done!

Very cool! It’s nice to see all the “rules” thrown out the window and just do what makes you happy.

While its not visible in the pic, that PloProf clasp is probably the best clasp Omega has ever made and I’ve got one on vintage mesh I occasionally use here and it has the nicest micro-adjust of anything I’ve used. You can use it on all sorts of straps, bracelets, anything that’s 20mm really.

Looks great 😎

I've got a few modded Speedmasters and they are always fun to wear, hope you enjoy wearing yours
