I just ordered the Apollo 11 50th bracelet for my 3861 Speedmaster. I'm struggling to get decent pictures of the bracelet mounted on the 3861 and how you need to modify it in order to get it to fit properly on the case.
Can anyone please provide me with some pictures and a guide on how to get it to fit on my watch?
Thank you.
I have the Speedmaster 57 flatlink on my Snoopy 50. Fits with no modifications, I don't mind the tiny overhang of the lug. This thread shows the Apollo 50 bracelet on a 3861 case. https://omegaforums.net/threads/omega-snoopy-apollo-11-50th-bracelet.131626/
Some have had success with 1.6mm springbars, others not so lucky. Just depends on how the tolerances add up.
I do mind that. I'd rather modify the Apollo 11 endlinks slightly than have an overhang. Although, I believe it will fit with slightly thinner springbars.
I myself do not like the idea of modifying anything on a 8-9-10k watch, and aftermarket is also a no-go. But everyone's different.
Sweet. Please take pics and show me how you modified it. I'm going to find an expert here in Taipei to do it, so I need clear instructions for them.
