Specifically, I compared both 19mm flat link polished and brushed variants that fit the Omega Speedmaster “First Omega in Space.” Over these past twelve months, the article grew to become one of my most well-read write-ups.

Is that the 1450 replica? That is sharp. I was thinking about picking that one up for myself even though it isn't period correct for my 92. I just love the look so much.

The 1450 is tons of fun, completely changes the look on my 1861

Has anyone compared the Forstner flatlink to the 1450? I ordered the classic flatlink (not the contemporary) for my 3861 Speedy and afterwards took notice of the 1450 hype.

What do you guys say?
