Hello all

My Speedmaster (145.012) is a bit tight on the wrist and I would like to add a link. I figure this will be an expensive proposition but I would like to attempt it. However I am not sure how to ID my bracelet. I have attached some pics. Any help would be appreciated. Also what are the board's recs for sourcing a vintage link?

Your bracelet looks like the precursor to the 1171, a cross between the 1039 (flat link) and 1171 (rounded link), quite often just numbered 11 or 12.
Really nice, comfortable bracelets which look (IMO) much cooler than the 1171.

Unfortunately, I think you will struggle with finding any links.

Hope this helps.

Possible that Otto Frei only sells entire bracelet or end links, not extra links

You may be scouring ebay to find an extra link

In case that turns into a long term quest there are generic extenders available that attach to the clasp pretty easy

Not endorsing this particular version but they are cheap as chips . . .

Good luck with your search. Finding tiny low value party can be a pain in the ass.

Thanks for the help all. I have an email in Otto Frei to see if they have anything. I could use the extender but would much rather an additional link. The hunt is on!
