·Hello all!
I tried searching, but I couldn’t find much, and I don’t have enough of a post history to make a thread in the WTB section.
I just bought a Speedmaster Pro Hesalite, but my AD only had it on a leather strap. I am looking for a decent quality aftermarket bracelet. Having just spend $4500 on the watch, and having just had a baby, my wife won’t release the funds to purchase a bracelet from Omega.
I looked at Uncle Seiko, but I want solid links/end links with a push button clasp. I saw one at Strapsco, but I couldn’t find if they are of decent quality.
I ideally do not want to spend over $300 USD on a bracelet.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!
Tacmed, if you go 'genuine Omega' just know that Omega-for some watches-really "mixed it up' with subtle changes in end pieces, overall thickness/weight of links etc. My 1978 Speedy shipped with a 1171/1 bracelet... Omega went to a 1171 'no slash' bracelet that looks pretty identical and now is the "correct" part according to them. But to a knowledgeable Omega guy, are they really the same part?
Sadly, as you know you won't find a new or very nice (non-stretched or scratched) original for less than $400-$500.
Good luck on your quest and pls post pics if you find a good solution.
Best-mog
