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 ?
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.
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.
Patience is rewarded. Looking forward to how you size it up and modify it to properly fit older Speedmasters.
