Anybody have any experience with the 1175 bracelet?

Interesting. This appears to be an outlier. Given the 32.2M serial, based on the conventional wisdom, if it was originally a -69, one would have expected a straight-writing case-back, and a DNN bezel of course. Very unusual to see a DON after 30.6M, so 32.2M is extremely late. Of course, it adds value in any case.

In any case, I think an 1175 would be fine.
Thank you very much for your feedback! Much appreciated.

Thank you for your response, Dan!

The bracelet doesn't have to be exactly the one that was sold with my watch. As it doesn't say in the extract, it's impossible to know, I guess. But anyhow I'm looking for a bracelet that could have been sold or delivered with it. If that's the case with the 1175, I would be happy. Some article said that the 1175 was delivered with 145.022-69 but not with the ones with Pre-Moon case backs as these are earlier ones. If that's not true, I would go for the 1175 because these ones are really nice looking and more affordable.

Any final input would be welcomed if the 1175 COULD BE the original one!

As for DON bezel: My serial is 32201....
I'm attaching some photos.


Who cares about the bezel? That dial is spectacular!

I bought a beautiful 1175 bracelet in very good condition. Unfortunately it's a bit short. It would feel more comfortable if it would have 1-2 extra links for extension.

Is it difficult to find only the extension links or should I rather look for a whole bracelet if I wouldn't like to hunt forever? I've looked for the past few days, but couldn't find any offers for the links only.

Any experience and recommendation?
Thank you for your help!

I’ve been looking on and off for a couple years now. The only thing I’ve found is mostly bracelets, that I can’t afford🙁

Oh ... okay. I would have wished it's easy to find those links. But anyhow, your input helps. Thank you!

1175 links are discontinued, but Omega calls these out as replacements:

114ST11621 | STEEL LINK W.HAIR PIN

I've just looked it up. It's actually not a flat link. But nevertheless, if I couldn't find anything, it's better to have this than nothing for now. Thank you!

I guess 1 mismatched link that will go mostly unseen is better than nothing.

Does anyone know the part number to the removable link spring bars? Or if other 1175 owners replaced them with something different, please let me know. I purchased a 1175 a while back and have now realized that the small spring bars at the removable links need to be replaced as they have broken down over time.

I find my 1175 / 640 combination very comfortable on my 145.22.69 and it seems much more substantial than the 1039 although I enjoy the watch with the 1039 as well.

I know this is an old thread but wanted to thank everyone for the valuable info and comparisons regarding the 1175 and the 1039. My 1039 is a hair puller for me and feels quite thin, going to keep and eye out for a 1175/640

FYIW the service 640 end links may still be available from your local OB. Wanted to point that out for anyone who may come across a good condition 1175 but is hesitant if it doesn't have 640 end links or any end links for that matter. I know it's not period correct but my 1175 bracelet, stamped 12-75, with the service 640 end links is one of favorite bracelet combinations I own.

Are the 640 service links PN: 026ST640? Do you remember what you paid for them?

I found an 1175 and it's wonderful, unfortunately 1-2 links short... I've seen the part number above 114ST11621 but as mentioned I don't think they are actually flat links? Can't really tell.

Just checked my email with local OB for this order. Yep, that's the Omega part number. I think it was like $50 or $60 a link when I purchased them. They come in one sealed package but in my experience they'll charge for each link individually.

Unfortunately I don't have any experience with the extra link part numbers. Best of luck in the search though!
