    Now then all.

    Does anyone know of any generic endlinks (or Omega ones) that purposefully leave a gap between the end of the strap and the case?

    I'm thinking like the style seen on the Black Bay One. I know these are integrated into the bracelet but with the typical last link seen on a 7012/1039/1035/1171 I'm wondering if there's a way of achieving the same look - partly because I like the aesthetic and partly because it would allow me to wear the same bracelet on various watches with the same lug width without having bags of endlinks to lose and mix up.

    I like that look also. I have many vintage bracelets with straight end-links and a few with curved end-links that are meant to leave a gap (e.g. various JB Champion styles, generic mesh bracelets, etc.), but I just checked them and they all have integrated end-links. As you know, unlike curved end-links, which are generally connected to the rest of the bracelet by the spring-bars, straight end-links are often attached to the last link of the bracelet in a different way, so it appears that they are often just integrated into the links. Sorry this isn't much help.

    Those are very cool. Just tiny little caps on the last link. Do you happen to have a photo of how they look installed on a watch?

    That's exactly what I mean. I'm sure I've got some of these somewhere. I've been looking through my boxes for the last few hours and can't find them.

    Looking for 19mm width for straight lug Speedmasters and Seamaster 120.

    Are these Omega or generic. Do you happen to have the ref no if Omega?
