OK, kids, for ten of you, this is your lucky day.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Original-V...229161?hash=item3d9388ec29:g:s3MAAOSwJ9RdKN7v

I measured mine and it matches his. However, if what you get doesn't fit, TFB, not my fault.
Thanks for the heads up.
Wait a minute, I haven't even purchased the U.S. bracelet but I'll have the clasp cover.
This continues to be a dangerous group of addicts.

Mine is 16mm on the inside and I had it on an 1171 bracelet previously. You can use that clasp cover if you wanted....

YES!! Should work out then, great tip

many thanks for sharing.. haha this guy is selling its stock like hot cakes, 6 after I bought it (couple of hours later).

Ordered a 1171 clasp which does not fit. It tapers to 14mm (internally). Hope this one is 16mm on the inside.

It sounds like you got a clasp for a pretty early version of the 1711. The two most recent ones taper to 16mm and will fit the US1711.
There is a thread in the forums which allows you to identify them all.

brilliant I was looking for one of these. These clasp covers with the raised logo, polished edges and brushed center are a very good match for the flat link bracelet. It’s very close to what came on some of the genuine omega flat links.

Dang, this forum really ran a train on that eBay clasp. I was monitoring it for a while and waiting for a coupon to show up but I guess I'll have to get one before y'all sell it out.

Well, it did sell out, quite quickly. Looking for a second chance as we speak...

Hi,

I put the flatlink Seiko on my lovely TinTin 😉

Ok, for any one with a US1711 this clasp is a perfect match in terms of size and design so you either just switch the cover or switch the whole clasp to this genuine omega 1162/173 clasp:

Edit: a few links
https://www.ebay.com/itm/OMEGA-New-...379971?hash=item3b4b4c92c3:g:p4cAAOSwdCVexvN-

https://www.ebay.com/itm/OMEGA-New-...297604?hash=item342cd29504:g:~BUAAOSw7t9exvPF

Its more expensive than the last one but it’s the whole clasp and the last one did not match the US1711.

That's an odd listing with the clasps located in the US but they won't ship to US or the UK for that matter.

Again, changing the whole clasp is something you do not need to do. Just change the cover. It'll be cheaper.

I’m simply giving the option as most clasps will not match the US bracelet at both ends in terms of diameter. This one does. I couldn’t find just a cover which matched the US1711 clasp anyway, can you please post?

I think that’s because it was Australian eBay 😀 I’ve just updated with a link on eBay.com

Hmm, the same seller has another stash of these clasps?
A number of OF members, including me, are going to find out soon if this is legit.
Since the clasp caper has derailed this thread, maybe a new thread tracking it would make sense. Then again maybe not.soon
I think I'll get another glass of wine.😀

It is a great fit one it’s on. Now I’m afraid to change it out because it’ll be too hard to put it back on.

Same here! I haven't swapped out the bracelet since putting it on.

Really a great fit, thinner springbars are working for me!

I think that is definitely key to easier installation!

I was just curious and tried it out.
The Flatlink US 1035 on a Nivada Grenchen Chronomaster Aviator Sea Diver Reference 85001 / 3011.
(I took the bracelet as it came for my Moonwatch without any filing or bending of the end links. For sure the fitting can be made even better, but it is already a nice combo.)

Aa little late reply but that looks really good, do your Chronomaster have 19mm lugs?
Min has 19mm but most specify them as 20mm, only sloppyness or is it a difference in different references?
