·Ssoooooo…..care to share a little more info?
Like who did the work?
By what method did they tighten the links?
What did that cost?
Did they decide on the two tone finish or did you?
Inquiring minds want to know.

·That was one of my thoughts, Holzers (or the associated JB Champion versions) are not like jubilees. They have longer oval 2/4 links and a slight gap (slight) between 1/5 links to allow for that silky movement. It’s what makes them one of the most comfortable bracelets ever made- it’s how they move on the wrist.
Hopefully the OP posts of a pic of it being worn

·I have the first Gen 1171 that came with my Speedy (folded link)- that thing was agonizing! I had a bald patch on the front of my wrist after the first few weeks wearing that watch until I chucked it in the drawer and went with leather.

·Did Omega alter the design slightly from the first gen to overcome that problem?

·Is that a 910 Flightmaster it is attached to?
Great job. Would love to get the 1162 on my Mark II restored to that level.

·Nice work, but I believe that central links were not polished.

·It is attached to two different watches. It came originally with a 1969 flightmaster 145.013 which was at Omega for an overhaul.
I took the pic with another Omega I had on hand before sending it in.
Michael Young at classic watch repair in HK did the work.
I sent 5 bracelets in and he did a wonderful job. Turnaround time was about 6 wks, cost varied depending on work and parts needed, but an average of 250 each.
I was impressed with the work.

For most of the Holzer brazelets I've seen, the small inner links are mirror polish.
