Modern bracelet for Seamaster 166.024

[bornbredtex]

Hello All,
Firstly I know I should find the bracelet this model was issued with but that has not been pleasant and hard to find one in nice condition at a reasonable cost. I have tried both the Uncle Seiko and Forstner versions and admittedly just not enamored with them. So trying to tap in the knowledge of this erudite community and determine if there is a modern option. I have considered perhaps a modern 1171 w 633 endlinks, no idea if it will fit and not sure if that will look odd. Any help is appreciated. Cheers.

Yes the modern/service bracelet is the 1171/633

that looks terrific. is that a watchco version? I have heard the case is slightly different than the 60s version and I was worried the endlinks might not work.

As 633 Endlinks are folded they’re adjustable if they don’t immediately fit. I have an 1171/633 on my SM300

is that a watchco version

No, its a 1968 watch with a new bezel, dial and hand set.

My assembled SM300 parts list includes a modern 1171/1 and 633 end links. Looks great. I wear it on an Uncle Seiko flat-link, too.
