·Hi All,
Would really appreciate feedback regarding deployant clasps for leather straps for a couple vintage Speedmasters. I have a 2998 from 1961 and another Speedmaster - 1968 145.012. The '61 has a 19mm fitting and the '68 has a 20mm opening. What are your recommendations regarding width for deployant clasp - either 18mm or 16mm? The 16mm would probably more closely match the existing taper of the steel bracelets, but just not sure of how it would feel. I am thinking of getting an Omega brand deployant, but would appreciate input on other options.
Also, I am think that either Arron Bespoke or Genteel would be able to make leather straps for both watches. Any other suggestions?
Again, appreciate any input or thoughts you all are able to provide.
Thanks!
