Hello all ,
Happy to have officially joined this forum. I have visited it often.
I saw a great thread from Spike on why he decided to sell his new 3186 Speedy. I just wanted to verify:
1) does the new Speedy bracelet have on the go adjustability.
I was considering ordering this bracelet for my 1957 Broad Arrow 42mm, with Co-Axial 3313 latest rev c movement, sapphire and date, and 100meter depth, I traded my Speedy Hersalite , because the Speedy didn’t have it.
2) if it’s on the go adjustable, can I buy from an OB

Welcome to the forum. The 3861 Speedy Pro bracelets do not have on-the-go, adjustable clasps.

So it carries forward the previous generation bracelet's approach of having 2 different slots on the clasp, a few millimeters away from one another. Which you'll need a tool to adjust. We also saw from Spike's posts that the final link looks a bit off, when using the outer-most adjustment slots.

There's only been a very small handful of manual-wind Speedmasters that a pusher-style, fine-adjustment clasp. The 020STZ006270 bracelet on the Apollo 17 45th Anniversary, the clasp on the Tokyo 2020 Speedmasters, the 60th Anniversary, are the only 3 that jump out in my mind. Of course, the clasp on each of those would incongruous, with the 15mm taper of the new 3861 bracelets.
