As the title says I recently purchased an Omega Marine Chronometer with the 1209 bracelet. It’s annoyingly one link short of being perfectly sized.

Any help would be appreciated, I’m attempting to avoid buying a “whole” bracelet off of eBay, pillaging the link I need, and trying to re-sell what is left.

I’d very much prefer a “real” link but if someone has an aftermarket work around I’d be interested.

I didn't know it, definitely a very interesting watch and design (plus concept, history etc). Good luck, I hope you will find what you are looking for!

That looks like the original bracelet, not the replacement one sold by Omega ?
I'll have to look in my box when I'm back home if I have a spare one. Can't remember if the extra links were screwed in (potentially problematic as the heads could strip) or used springs ?

They use spring bars, and yes it’s the original bracelet.

Appreciate the response!

Thank you! Seems like such a simple solution, should’ve found that on my own. This would definitely work as an interim fix.

I may have something but I am a bit time poor for a couple of weeks. PM me after 8th August if you are not sorted and I will check. I had some spares when I got mine back in the day.
