Full length Holzer bracelet?

I’m curious about the bracelet I recently bought for my needy Mexican delivered flightmaster project. I was lucky to nab a very nice Holzer with very little stretch and a good clasp.
Most of the Holzer bracelets I’ve seen seem to be crazy short. This one will fit me well.

Is it full length?

It’s 10 links one side and 12 the other. It appears to only have one removable link but I am guessing you just pry open the others to remove.

If it is the same as most other vintage Omega bracelets, I'd guess it should have had three removable links.

Good reasoning. One removable link seems insufficient. I can't find any examples of longer Flightmaster Holzers than 170mm and that seems to be the length of a 1162 new replacement. Not of any real consequence, I was just curious. Here are a couple of current ebay offerings. Must be for tiny wrists.

Looking closer, I don't think yours has any removable links. There seems to just be a spot to add them.

Most of these that I have come across are short and missing links. I recently got my hands on one for my 145.012, but it has a somewhat worse issue. It has no removable links, but it is still too long because a person previously added three permanent links (correct links, but definitely not meant to be there) on the long end to make up for the lack of removable links.

I think this one has 20mm wide endlinks, so it does not fit a flightmaster which is 22.
Btw, answering your question is not easy.. I got 1162 or 1159 bracelets which are much long also without having removable links, and other which are short with 3 or for removable links, thus I cannot exclude that in the 70 bracelet may come in different sizes.

So like everything else it’s never straight forward eh?
Yes it has 20mm end links. I was hoping a jeweler could put 22mm end links on for me.
