    So Archer doesn’t have to field PM’s and post it in every single thread created for the watch...

    Thank you’s go to Archer, not me. I saw it in all the threads being asked and hopes for it to be available separate, so I decided to just make it’s own thread and easily searched.

    In case you can’t see or understand it is in the picture above, the part number is 020STZ011626.

    Quit asking now ha ha :thumbsup:

    I don’t understand why Omega would create a special piece then allow people to buy part of it and swap it like a car part into another non limited product. Makes it less special in my opinion

    I agree. But I want it so bad that I don’t care. Come on Omega. Give the people what they want.

    If it fits, end links look different to the current Speedy Pro setup.

    Why wouldn't it fit? Did they change the case or lug design in some way? It looks to me like the same watch as a Speedy Pro, with a different dial and different bracelet. But the case itself?

    I think the case is the same as the normal Speedy. But it would be great to check if the lug holes is in the same place.

    Copying what I posted on another thread. Sorry, not the best description.

    The underside of the endlink looks similar to the newer 8800 Seamasters (no small tabs on each side). Unless other endlinks become available, I don't think they'll fit the usual Speedmaster cases.

    I checked with my local AD and they said that the bracelet shows as "unavailable" by Omega. Guess we might have to wait a while, but I suppose it should be that way for those that paid for the LE.

    Looks like a great upgrade or a nice alternative to the standard issue bracelet. Thanks OP for sharing for the part number.

    I'm not meaning to be obtuse, but I don't understand this at all. So you believe the case or lugs on this watch has been changed when compared to the standard Pro? I'm not seeing the logic in that on Omega's end.

    RJ wrote i a FB post that Omega will not sell the bracelet separately.

    I hope he’s wrong, as I want one, but I could see their logic in reserving a special bracket for special watches only.

    Since the case now has a NIIAD case back it has had some serious retooling done in that area. In another post someone showed the back of the Apollo 11 and the case appears to have some sort of 'ledge' to help stabilize the endlinks. At this point it is premature to believe that the new bracelet will simply fit the standard case. If I was Omega I would not want my new bracelet design to be put on older watches, it just muddies up the brand focus. Maybe it will fit directly, we will have to wait and see. I don't think this bracelet will be available for a long time, at least until ALL of 6969 watches have been delivered.

    As an LE, I wouldn't be surprised if the bracelet is only ever available to LE owners.
