    Hi,

    I have a Watchco Seamaster 300 that came with an 1171 bracelet and 633 end links. The bracelet narrows too much for my liking at the clasp and looks a bit too dainty and thin on my wrist. I'd like a bracelet that doesn't taper so much, or one that preferably doesn't taper at all and stays at 20mm to the clasp.

    Can you recommend any Omega or aftermarket oyster-style bracelets and ends that will fit the SM300, but without the vintage taper?


    Thanks

    Hello,

    Can you post a pic? I might be interested in purchasing this from you.

    For mine I have it on a NATO or a mesh. Consider a mesh. There is one on eBay now. I have also uses my speedy bracket on my sm300.

    The OEM mesh is the way to go, its one of the best SS bracelets around and is crazy comfortable, not to mention looks badass on a vintage military styled diver like the SM300

    Thanks for the replies so far. I'll look into mesh, but would really prefer something a bit more dressy like an oyster bracelet. Any suggestions for a more modern oyster that will fit the SM300?

    Thanks

    I have mine fitted with the Omega mesh and its really a great strap, comfortable and looks fantastic.

    I have tried an 'aftermarket' 20mm Speedmaster modern bracelet on my SM300 ;) If I remember correctly the Speedmaster end link was a better fit as the end link on the modern 20mm Seamaster (Planet Ocean type) is longer than the Speedmaster one - I wanted to see how a modern bracelet would look on my SM300 and decided the mesh was the best look for me :)

    Do you know the model number of your Speedy bracelet? Just curious what it looks like.

    Thanks

    Take a look. I have one on mesh, but you have seen that already.

    1499/842 is the Speedmaster Pro bracelet in the pic
