    Hi,

    According to this ref a Speedmaster 145.022 has an 1171 bracelet.

    Is it possible a 74-er Speedmaster has a 1172/1 bracelet? Is this original? What is the difference between these two bracelets?

    Best, Matth

    Sorry, 1172/1 was a typo in a message of a seller to me. He meant 1171/1 :)

    Anyone know if there is a table like that for Seamaster Bracelets versus years?

    However, it does not seem easy to get a 1171 at a reasonable price ...:thumbsdown:

    What would be a resonable price for you? Those come up pretty often.

    Agree. Saw this one for $600 here on OF. I won’t say it is expensive but for me it is still a lot of money.

    Is there someone here who maybe has a second hand 1171/633 bracelet with end links for sale for me?

    Best, Matth

    Plenty of 1171's about with a bit of patience. I'd say decent ones come up for sale pretty much weekly.

    I probably have not been in the business for long enough ...:unsure: I would have estimated a price around $ 500 / $ 600. What do you think? Is this realistic?

    Do you need a vintage one or a modern one? A modern 1171/1 isn't, strictly speaking, correct for a vintage 145.022. You'd need a 1171.

    That’s good to hear. I am not in a hurry.

    True, and to be clear I need a 1171/633 with endlinks because my Speedmaster is from 1974. The 1171/1 is introduced a few years later I believe, so otherwise it won’t be original.

    The current 1171/633 that you can buy new in AD as a retail price of $420. Now originality is ok but if you wnat to wear the watch with a bracelet that visually is identical to the vintage 1171, well you can get the newer one.

    I had the same problem but i really consider buying the current 1171/633 (which is cheaper than many vintahe i saw ) and live in peace, especially because my speedy is not going anywhere :)

    Thanks Mancio, could be an option.

    But thinking about the current prices of the 1171/633 vintage bracelets makes it for me more and more interesting to buy a few NATO straps.

    What do you think? Is a 145.022 and a NATO strap a good alternative?
