Hi anyone,
there's any difference between these two SS bracelets, apart from the 1565/976 has a new link removal design, with small screws instead of the simple pins?
Any other difference in size, material or finishing?
Thanks a lot for answering,
alberto

 

or there's a difference in thickness?
thanks
alberto

 

Differences between them are: 1564/975 use pins while 1565/976 uses screws on removable links; both dit the same cases, but the angle of the end links are a bit different

 

Would either one be a better fit FOIS/CK?

Thanks so much for your input! @fskywalker

 

I think either would be a good for for the FOIS. Technically 1565/976 is a better bracelet since it has the modern screw / bolt design, but more expensive and somewhat harder to source

 

Thanks! understood. Actually, I am most concerned with the end links. Specifically, would either the 975 or 976 end links better fit the case shape of the FOIS (e.g. less likely to scratch the inner side of the lugs)? Thanks again!

 

Here are some pictures of the 1565/976 installed on an FOIS (not mine); hope they help!

 

Thanks a bunch!

 

Some other pictures I found from a 1564/975 bracelet (notice the holes in the link sides as it has pins rather than screws)

 

Thanks again!

 

I can't decide to go with 1565/976 or the 1125/560. I know the FOIS harkens back but it's my "new" watch and my Speedie is on leather. I'm leaning towards the 1125 right now.

 

Here is my FOIS on a 1125 with 617 end links

 

617 vs 560? Looks sharp

 

Hello Francisco,

Thanks in advance again for your insight. The slight difference in end links angle that you noted, in what way are they different? It might be too much to ask, but if you happen to have the two different end links attached to FOIS (or CK) for comparison, that would be extraordinarily helpful.

Sincere thanks

 

Hi, I don't have them right now for comparisson, but what I mean can perhaps be appreciated on this pictures (both on my wrist):

The edge of the first link after the end link is more visible on the 976 end link than on the 975 end link (on the 975 the slope downwards is a bit more pronounced and creates a bit less of exposure of the first link edge).

 

I'd do the 1125/617

 

This is super helpful. Sincere thanks!! A subtle difference, but one that I certainly appreciate. Many many thanks once more

 

You're welcome! The 975 end link is also larger as you can see on the picture below versus the 976, probably that also has to do with the different fit. I like the contour of the 975 end link better than the one of the 976.

 

Once again, super helpful! Thanks again. What tools do you recommend that I use to attach the 1564 bracelet and adjust its length?

 

A Bergeon 6767-F is what I use to remove and re-install the bracelet. It can also be used to adjust the size of the bracelet (remove and re-install the tube / pins).
