路Mine is a perfect 20mm.
In case they changed the lug width across time, mine is a Nivada V92, ref 9989 8222
Mine is a Landeron 248 model!

路I got one of the clasps from Canada. He seems to have a pretty unlimited supply, when one listing runs out he starts another. This suggests they might not be genuine. But they do look good.
鈥業鈥檝e got a number of real NOS Speedmaster clasps and based on the slightly rough finish on the Canadian ones I鈥檓 almost certain they are not genuine. But hey, they look the part and are cheap since you just need to buy the cover.
The one on the bottom is the genuine clasp on a US1171. Just to be clear, these are for personal use only, I would never try to sell them.

路Also, just for the record, Larry has done a phenomenal job with these bracelets. Between USPS and Australia Post, they took just under 2 months to get to me but it was well worth the wait! I have purchased a bracelet from another company on these forums and Larry鈥檚 end links match the lugs much better, the fact they are hollow means they can be made to fit many more watches, the fit and finish is better, the clasp quality and size is better and they are much, much cheaper. In addition to this the links articulate better due to not having overly tight tolerances. Uncle Seiko has a fan in me for life.
Larry just needs to get himself a Black Bay 58 and get the Tudor bug (like he did the Speedy) as that watch is in desperate need of his treatment. Most are sold on leather or cloth when everyone wants the bracelet, the genuine bracelet is like $700US and can take 3 months to order in from Switzerland and the only company making aftermarket ones is Strapcode which make utter garbage.

路Just ordered a US1171 to go with the US1035 flat link I bought a couple of weeks ago (now sold out in 20mm fully brushed!). I have an 1171/633 I bought last year from Omega so as soon as I receive the bracelets I鈥檒l do a comparison.

路If that's a 19mm lug width, then it must be a US clasp.

路You鈥檙e showing a different clasp than depicted on the Uncle Seiko website. Do they change it, or did you?

路Bracelet tapers down to 16mm, so several original Omega clasps from the 70s/80s fit perfectly.

路So it鈥檚 a 19 tapering to 16. The 20 tapers down to 18, according to the U/S website.
The other US bracelets for Omega (Flat, 1171, Holzer) are the same bracelet with different endlinks for 20mm and 19mm. They all taper to 16mm.

路Yes, the BoR 20mm is a different bracelet, with a diver's type clasp. The 19mm has the vintage style clasp.

路I just bought a couple of those Canadian clasp covers for my incoming 1035 and 1171. That BOR with the Omega clasp looks very nice.

This is another option: https://www.etsy.com/au/listing/654684522/omega-new-mark-iv-speedmaster-stainless
No affiliation with seller, I just got one of these and put it on the US Holzer and looks very good too. It will also look great on the 1171 (it's like the official 1171 clasp but with polished chamfers).

路I got one of the Canadian covers too. I doubt they're genuine Omega, but they're a viable alternative for a very decent price. After all, the bracelets we're using them for are not genuine Omega either, are they ?

I can confirm that the Canadian clasp covers are not genuine.
The mark iv Speedy clasp you linked to Etsy is available from eBay as well for those that prefer to purchase there. I think it might be the same vendor. Those clasps are genuine Omega clasps.
They also look really good with the US 1711 bracelet (IMO).
