That's a good look, maybe better than the 3861 bracelet.

Really nice.
I assume you're using Forstner endlinks.
Not yet. They’re arriving this weekend but honestly I might just leave the stock endlinks on.

I put this bracelet on the Tokyo panda. Don’t understand what the issue is about the endlinks.

The end links that come with the flat link bracelet don't fit properly due to the "lip". One option is to shave down the lip for a flush fitment. The other is to use non-OEM end links.

The bracelet that comes on the 3861 Speedmaster fits perfectly but the style is not for everybody.

But still is almost everyone's favourite choice including me.

Isn't it great that Omega gives us the variety? We can all choose what we like best. The mesh bracelet (if the clasp works for your wrist) looks fantastic as well!

Either 3861 bracelet is very versatile....it goes well with most everything.

I do like the modern bracelet quite a bit, and it's gorgeous on your watch.

I ordered US endlinks, but have all the tools at home to shave off the "lip." I'm supposed to pick up the bracelet this week and may wind up doing this.

Here's a 1863 on the A11 50th with Uncle Seiko endlinks. Curious now, of the Speedy 57 bracelet given that it comes with a slide adjust...

Love the look of the flat links.

So sad to say that I received the Forstner end links today (the post 2021 ones) which are supposed to be the correct ones for the snoopy 50th but only one side of the bar will fit into the watch and the other side will not leaving the end link very very slightly askew. I’ve emailed Forstner to return them and am quite disappointed. For now I’ll stick with the standard 57 end links.

Looks great!

Thank you, it's no Snoopy but I'm super happy with the look.

Sorry to hear about the forstner end links not fitting. I'm considering "fixing" the A11 endlinks...

@s2000_driver s2k, I'm assuming the "little lip" is the protruding Edge along the bottom of the end link, that would push against the case and has two little nubs?

Nevermind. It was this lip- the whole thing:



And... after some careful masking and equally careful grinding:





the difference is subtle but there; this endlink matches the bracelet perfectly and the US endlink was close but subtly off. as soon as I got this one to fit, the difference is obvious.


A little bit of polishing compound on the underside of these, and they'll be good as gold to go.
