    Hi Everyone,

    I tried searching first but found nothing in the forums or in Google. I apologize in advance if this has come up.

    i absolutely love the look of the new Speedy’s bracelet and clasp. I unfortunately can’t say the same for my Speedy (previous model). Does anyone know if:
    A) the new bracelet fits the previous Speedys? I believe it’s the same lug width but unsure if anything changed.
    B) Omega sells the new bracelet and clasp separately? I imagine it’s close to the $1K mark if they do.

    Thanks in advance!

    Yes it fits. The price is $680 so much more affordable than $1K!

    Thanks again...it looks great. I was just reading your other post where you found the bracelet uncomfortable. That’s concerning but I think I’m going to give it a “go” anyway. I tried the new one on and it felt great but that is, of course, just 5 minutes on the wrist. Let’s see how it goes!

    I’d get a 1171/633 from an OB personally.

    I like the classic bracelet look over modern ones. Granted the new one is way better then the last one....

    plus the 1172/633 is relatively cheap vs the other options.

    Got it, makes sense. I’m just debating between the sapphire sandwich (polished inner links) vs hesalite (fully brushed).

    That looks really good, loving that grey bezel color at that angle. Enjoy it!

    Looks great. Can you confirm the part number of the new Hesalite bracelet?

    Very nice... it looks great!! I’m glad you went for it s as well. I feel like the bracelet fixed the one issue I had with the watch.

    I'd have gone for it only if it had adjustable clasp like Mk 2. Speedy, for a really a good companion, must have adjustable clasp.

    I agree. That’s definitely the only complaint I have. I’m sure there will be a replacement clasp at some point.

    This was the hesalite bracelet I bought. Not sure why my part number is different. Mine is all brushed.
