    Hello,

    I'm wondering if there is an Omega flat-link bracelet that is compatible with a modern Speedmaster professional (ref. 311.30.42.30.01.005).

    I'm looking for a bracelet like the ref. 7912 that will work on a modern speedy. I'd get the new bracelet on the 60th anniversary version if it were available and were 20mm instead of 19mm (if I'm not mistaken).

    Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.

    1039 is the vintage flat link bracelet used on Speedmasters Pros in the 60's. The 70's 1175 has links that are pretty flat (kind of a cross between the 1039 and 1171).

    1175 is a good and cheaper alternative

    I think you need 640 endlinks for a speedy on a 1175 bracelet. I’m sure someone will correct me though if I’m wrong.

    Nice thread! What's a decent range to expect to pay for the 1175 and 1035 w endlinks? I think these will be a welcome addition to my Speedy Pro, although the modern bracelet is growing on me.

    Rough estimate

    1035 with endlinks about £3000
    1175 with endlinks about £800

    Endlinks for a 1035 eg number 6 links are bucks! About £1500 unless you want non omega ones

    Yikes! Thanks. Maybe the new bracelet isn't so bad after all!

    There's no way a 1035 is £3k! They're 19mm anyway. It's the 1039 that's 20mm.

    Both can be had for perhaps £1-1.5k.

    The 1175 is around half the price.

    1035 is about £1500
    Number 6 endlinks about £1500

    1500+1500= 3000

    1035 generally uses 506 endlinks. But they're 19mm not 20mm so no good for the OP. He needs a 1039 with 516 (or the 1175). Neither of these bracelets and endlinks cost £3k.
