I currently have my father’s Omega Speedmaster 1964 reference number 105003. I am in need of 1 clip that attaches the watch band to the watch. In the photo the top clip is the original but the bottom is not. Any idea where I can find one?

Could you show what number is on the underside of the top endlink?

Assuming it is a 6 endlink it’s not going to be cheap or easy to find a real one. Plan on $500+, do a lot of research and ask questions. Lots of fake #6 endlinks out there.

If it happens to be something else it will be a hair easier for you because there are less fakes out there vs the 6s.

Edit: heh, I answered what should be there, not what is actually there. My mistake.

This looks like it might be a service bracelet. Probably a 1175. If so, it probably needs a 48 endlink.

Appears to be an 1175 bracelet, not original to the watch.

Show photo of back of endlinks, and also inside of clasp. Nice Speedy heirloom.

640 should also work.

No 47 end so bracelet is an 1171. These are from 1969/1970, usually a date code will be on the clasp, earlier ones just had a 12 in a circle.
As stated above, this is unlikely to be the original bracelet for this watch although they are great bracelets.
You need to decide whether it is worth sourcing an end for a non original (but correct Omega bracelet)

At least getting 47 endlink wont break the bank.

Another option is JB Champion mesh which was worn by many astronauts and comes with 19 mm endlinks. Here on my 145.012 (which is 20 mm lugs)

Afaik 47 endlinks are 20mm. Don’t these take 19mm bracelets? It would be easier and cheaper to get a pair of 19mm 48 endlinks than it would be to buy a 47 endlink and file it down to fit.

Stunning example!
