Hi guys,

I'm looking to obtain a flat-link OEM Omega bracelet for my 3861 Speedmaster. I'm wondering which one is best, both in terms of whether or not it actually fits (without third party end-links), and the looks, i.e. how vintage it looks.

Can anyone give me any advice about which bracelet I should try to get?

Cheers.

Like several others here on OF, I fit an Apollo 11 flat link to my 3861 and think it’s great. However, I used aftermarket Forstner end links as the original A11 links are not a good fit on the standard 3861.

A few members have also installed the flat link bracelet from the ‘57 coaxial range, and my recollection is that the standard end links work just fine.

Here’s the A11 on my 3861:

I realise you are looking for an Omega bracelet, however don't discount the forstner contemporary flat link, in my opinion it fits like a dream and lots of bang for the buck.

Will second this opinion. Wear my FOIS on one almost exclusively. A lot cheaper than the Apollo 11 bracelet AND with more micro-adjust fit positions on the clasp.
