Our last special Watch Strap Review; Legendary Vintage Bracelets article was well received by you guys. Thanks for that. We thought it would be cool if we continued the series with yet another iconic accessory. This time we took a closer look at a brand most of us at Fratello has a thing for. No, […]

Well a classic 1969 is probably the most-wanted 1039 bracelet version to have & appreciate... 👎

Good article but it says that the 1039 was the last flat link bracelet until the recent release of the 60th anniversary. What about the 1175?

Great article!
I'm curious if the new Speedmaster Apollo XI 50th Anniversary bracelet also fits the classic Moonwatch.
Hope someone will try it soon and report it.

I think that is going to be difficult, as Omega stated they are not going to supply it as sparepart/separate bracelet.

Nicely done. I have always thought, though, that the hair-pulling allegations have been over-stated. My 1171 is an equal if not superior depilatory.

Does anyone know someone who sells replacement for these expanding springs or perhaps refurbishes these vintage bracelets?

I miss wearing my 2998 on its original bracelet… 😒

Its (IMHO) a mix between a flatlink and a 1171 (but I do have one, and I like it) 👍

+1 for the 1175. I have one as well. It is thicker, and sturdier. Another plus is that it has the pinholes for the link extensions. It is much easier to add/remove links than 1035/1039.

It is cheaper too on the used market! 😀

Nice article to read but you might want to re-visit those production dates 😉
