    Maybe I’ll double check my measurements later with a second gauge but our centres seem to agree pretty closely.

    Yes, my concerne was about the middle to understand if switch between 1125 and 1171 is possible.

    About the 14 mm, I found different item to sell on eBay sold as 14 mm.

    It's definitely a strange standard if they are different version of a same reference. ::confused2::

    This is a great thread. Bracelet really makes a difference. Now if they only offered it with a sapphire case back...

    Do you guys know if there is a mesh bracelet for FOIS without the end links that have a bar going across from lug to lug?
    Here is my 20mm omega mesh on aqua terra without the "bar":

    Is there a 19mm alternative for the FOIS? I would pick it up in a heartbeat!!

    @padders , I spoke to the seller of my bracelet and it come from a Seamaster Electronic.
    Maybe it’s a different version of the 1125, specific to this watch, could explain the width between standard 1125 and 1171.

    It could be nice indeed. However, I just wonder if that kind of bracelet does not damage the holes inside the lugs.

    @padders @321Only thanks for your help.

    I did it! I filed down the last link with a stone, carefully, and I changed spring bars for 1,5mm.

    Hello, new to the forum. I have the 1125 bracelet as well. It has failed on me once. Under the clasp there are only two weak half hooks and when I bent my wrist once with some pressure on it, it did snap. Luckily the boutique replaced it with a brand new one free of charge. Made me kind of baby it more when wearing on the bracelet. Now I’m looking for a different replacement that feels sturdier and not hollow.

    I have the 560 endlinks. The boutique clamped the back side of the ebdlinks with tools for a tighter fit.

    Thank you. It actually fits much better like this than with 617.

    Really? I have a 1125/617 on order from a boutique, and a vintage (well 1970s) 1125 I use with some 617s now and then on some of my 19mm stuff. How are the 560s better? Are they longer? I could change my order for 1175/560 and have both is how I am thinking.

    Here is a shot of my vintage, and clearly a little stretched 1175 with modern 617 endinks, this is why I am buying a new one:

    Here are a few pics.
    CK 2998 with 1125 + 560
    60th with 1125 + 617
    60th with 1068 and endlinks from the 60th.
    Cosmetically, I find the 560 for fit better within the lugs than the 617. Maybe a tad shorter. 60th.jpg 60th2.jpg CK2998.jpg

    Your endlinks have been polished two tone.
