Hey guys,

It seems there are two different omega endlinks stamped with 633.

Is one real and the other fake or 'aftermarket'?

 

I think it's the difference between new ones and older ones. The older ones don't have that little cutout, and seem to be a little bit more substantial. Similar to how the 1171 bracelet still exists as the 1171/1, but they're not exactly the same as they used to be.

 

Ah, I see, stamped vs engraved = vintage vs new.

Thanks! I didn't realize the 633 were reissued.

 

Only because an original 1171 bracelet was mentioned: My understanding is that the one I sold a while back with the recessed trapezoid Omega logo was the original 1171. Yea or Na? Need to add that later information taught me the end-clips were ??? However they fit the 145.022-69 they came with. Just curious - Thanx, Miki

First is modern, second is original for 1171 and 1171/1 from the 80´s

 

Your 1171 looks like an original. I have both, and the newer ones have a recessed square as opposed to a trapezoid.

 

I think MikiJ's endlinks are the modern ones though, based on speedy4ever's post.

 

Modern to say the least. Hell, they weren't even marked
