Are there other differences than the width between the 19 and 20mm end links?
No, just the 1mm difference in width.

It seems that many are happy with the ones they have, both those having the one from Uncle Seiko and also those having the JB Forstner one. Some may even have both.
I'm not sure why you're saying that.
B BurrogsGot my US1450 today, for those that care to know, the Omega eBay clasp discussed earlier in this thread for the US1171 fits perfectly. That said, the updated US1450 clasp is very nice, as are the SELs. Another knockout item from our favorite Uncle!
Got mine today as well, ordered this Omega clasp from eBay that should arrive Friday.
Question about putting the clasp assembly on. One end is obviously just a spring bar for the micro adjust, but the other end appears to be a solid metal pin pressed in, holding the clasp to a link. Can this just be pushed out with a pin pushing tool to install the new clasp?
S SlCKB0YSorry for the late reply.
1. The Mark IV 1162/173 can be found on both Etsy and EBay, it will fit all Uncle Seiko Speedmaster bracelets that taper to 16mm. They are genuine and include the whole clasp. Internal diameter is 16mm, external 17mm, length about 34mm. They are almost identical in size to the stock Uncke Seiko clasp covers. These really suit the US1711 bracelet very well.
2. The “Speedmaster 1171 Moonwalk deployment clasp” should be avoided. They are genuine but the internal width of the clasp cover is only 15mm. External diameter is 16mm. They are too small. Someone correct me if I’m wrong.
3. The “Canada clasp cover” is a $20UD clasp cover only, which I believe, but cannot prove are non genuine but still of a pretty good standard

For me, the polished outer edge and brushed inner portion is very reminiscent of the clasp covers found on the old flat links and suit them very well, though they will fit most US bracelets that taper to 16mm .
Hey guys, I am looking to produce a few bracelets for the Speedy to meet the high demand for alternatives. I just made the Beads of Rice bracelet and am looking to also make the classic Flat Link and maybe President style (1171?).
The problem is that I am mostly a Seiko guy and don't know a whole lot about Omega, other than I love my Speedy and wish I could venture more into the brand as a collector. I had some good feedback about my BOR but some complained that the clasp should have been different.
So, just gathering ideas at this point, I guess. If you have any thoughts as to what bracelet should be made, what kind of clasp, etc. feel free to share. While I know there are many purists out there, I am sure many would also like some alternatives.
