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?
Loving this thing so much! Thanks to the folks who posted so much info about putting it in a bracelet. I love it with the 57 bracelet!
Brilliant, glad to see I'm not the only one that prefers this bracelet for the Silver Snoopy.
Is that a 57 or something else? Looks fantastic, and definitely different than the 3861 bracelets.

That's a 57 bracelet, look at how the end links protrude from the case lugs.
The lug-to-lug on the 57 is 49.6mm vs the 3861s 47.5mm.
EDIT: wording isn't super clear here but as best as I can tell, the lugs are a total of ~1.3mm longer on the '57 than they are on the Speedy, about 0.65mm on each side. so, the end links are fatter by that much, hence the visible protrusion when this bracelet is fitted onto a 3861 case.

You can also get the Forstner end links, will provide a “better” fit / end links of the bracelet would not extend over the watch lug ends
The Part # on the Omega Sleave it came in is:

Nope. According to Forstner, the end links do not fit on the new hesalite 3861 models. I can confirm that from my own experience. See this thread.
I have no idea why they continue to sell these end links for post-2021 watches, and claim that they fit on all 3861 Speedmaster except the the hesalite version.
And here it is. I don't even notice the overhang of the lugs. But it's either too tight or too loose. If I put one link back in, it's too loose with the micro in, if I take it back out, it's too tight(just a bit) with the micro out.
