Very intriguing. Willing to post up some wrist shots?

New milled clasp arrived in Polished / Brushed and I really like it.

I have been wearing the US1479 so I put the clasp on that - fits perfect and feels great. I have the original Forstner Flat Link but will probably sell it and look to get the contemporary in the future.

Hi.

Here you go, this is on the 1861:

Confirmed it’s about 2mm, perhaps a hair over 2mm. See pic of my Apollo 11 bracelet below. Unfortunately I don’t have a caliper so this is the best I can do.

I think the original non-contemporary Forstner flatlink with the new milled clasp is the combination that would be the closest thing to the Apollo 11 of the aftermarket options.

I know others who have swapped an omega clasp cover onto a forstner without an issue, or so they say. Obviously you're not gonna do that on this milled clasp but if you were dead set on an omega cover then you'd just have to buy the other version of the forstner clasp which is lower cost anyway.

I swapped the entire clasp of my US 1450 with a new 1171 clasp from Omega. I have another US 1450 where I just changed the clasp cover and I would recommend swapping the entire clasp if given the chance.

How much?
1171/633 is the part number?

Looks great. Did you have to do anything special to get the solid endlinks to fit? Are you using the 1.8MM omega spring bars?

Agree with you on the 19mm width. Unfortunately the only way to get that without doing something custom is the get the A11 bracelet.

After doing some mixing & matching, I think, I found a pretty nice combination:
-Forstner Flat Link (OG),
-Forstner milled clasp,
-Uncle Seiko milled end links.
It looks ALMOST perfect imo, the only thing that bothers me is the sub 19mm width at the 6 and 12. Although im still contemplating wether i should take care of it (like making a custom links or smth), or learning to live with it.

Did you make sure that you ordered the 20mm wide flat link bracelet? Looking at their website, the original flat link is made in 20mm width for the Speedy Pro and 19mm wide for the FOIS.
