Have an original Speedmaster circa 1969. Fantastic shape, running well. It came on a nylon rubberized strap. Would like a find a period Omega bracelet for this piece. Anyone able to offer help or suggestions for source? Thanks
Here's my favorite for this watch at eBay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Brand-New-S...948?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item2a4f54c4fcPurchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network Not cheap, and likely has pins as opposed to the original screws, but correct for the watch and extremely comfortable. There's a pre-owned one at auction as well, but without end links.
I prefer 1039 with 516 end links for a 69 speedie. My 68 has one and I find it extremely comfortable. They are not cheap though.
If you have a pre-moon caseback the 1969 the original bracelets were the 1039/516 or the 1116/575 If it was with straight writing caseback, the original bracelets included the 2 above and the 1175/640 and 1171/633.
