·Thanks for that. He prefers older bracelets but I will pass on that information to him.

·That bracelet appears to fit the Flightmaster and some others with the same shape of case. It will probably go on but it's inappropriate. He can get a modern 1171/633 directly from Omega or get one of the aftermarket flat-links from either Uncle Seiko or Forstner.

·Agreed, but hopefully with appropriate end pieces it might fit.

·The 1162 has fixed end links so these would have to be cut off and also the last link in order to have a male center link to fit the Omega 633 end links. The 1162 is 24mm wide and each link reduces by 2mm, so you have to cut off 2 links from each end to get it to 20mm. Would that be worth the effort and destruction of an 1162?

·I see what you mean. I actually own two 1162 bracelets, one with end pieces and one without. When we met up this morning my friend just asked if I would post this conundrum here to see if someone might know of a way to amalgamate 633 end links with the 1162 bracelet. Thanks.

·The speedmaster is certainly not a safe queen and the owner has no intention of ever selling. He just likes the idea of a cheaper original omega bracelet amended to fit.
