I was lucky enough to pick up the A11 bracelet for my watch the day I inquired about purchasing it. They actually had one in stock at the local boutique! Finally got that installed today and it looks fantastic on my Mitsukoshi modded Moonwatch (Ref: 311.30.42.30.01.005). Love the light play on the bracelet and very comfortable. Good luck to those still waiting on their order, it’s worth the wait. Big thanks go to Allen for installing it at the Ala Moana Boutique here on Oahu.

That looks great! Any way you can take a photo of the underside? Does it look like the lip can rub on the midcase between the lugs if it moves up and down?

Here you go. Looks like it doesn’t sit flush but definitely does not move when the bracelet moves around.

The whole end link looks tipped down towards the case back...that would bug me...

Also intentionally using undersized spring bars seems like a bad idea...I would keep a very close eye on those.

I’ll definitely keep an eye on it. I’d see if I can’t adjust it some more but it seems pretty secure at the moment.

Is the quality of this bracelet better than the Standard .005 speedy style bracelet ?? Wondering if this is an upgrade or just cosmetic. Do the endlinks protrude like the standard bracelet ?

I'm really looking forward to the flat link look on the 300 😀😀😀😀 Few more years and the AD should pull through for me 😵‍💫

So is it wrong to call and be "that guy" and ask where it is? I asked while in store at the 2 month mark at which I was told it should be in by the end of the month. I hate being that guy haha but I'm impatient 🤔

I call my OB every week asking where's my gold speedy 😉😡

He can keep an eye on them but failure will probably occur suddenly out in the wild as his arm is moving around launching said watch into the unknown. I just wouldn't feel comfortable using thinner springbars to have a so-so fit on a bracelet that seems purposely designed not to fit a standard case.

Uh...yes that's why I said it was a bad idea...

Could somebody weigh the bracelet please?
Also can someone try if it fits a 2254 Seamaster?
Thanks!

Chances of that are slim to none.

A speedy pro bracelet won't fit on a 2254 case because the spring bar holes aren't in the same spot as a speedy case. Most likely the 50th bracelet won't work.

Only took 5 months and 2 weeks to come in 😵‍💫
Patience is rewarded. Looking forward to how you size it up and modify it to properly fit older Speedmasters.
