Hi All

I have a Forster 1450 President on my watchco SM300 (case ref. 166.0324 -- iirc)

Does anyone know if the endlinks from that will work with a vintage 1171 bracelet? They are great quality (solid, for a start) and I'm hoping they'll mate ok. Tbh I'm assuming not. (The 1450 wasn't the 1171 so why should they?)

Failing that, can someone tell me the measurements of the recess in a 633 end piece (and/or the measurements of the "male" part of the final link in a 1171 bracelet).

Failing that are there any cheap aftermarket 633 alternatives? I'm wondering about the Uncle Seiko ones here:

Thanks!

I think you can probably get actual 633 endlinks from Omega. And they aren't too expensive on eBay, TBH.
