Non Omega Bracelet question for Vintage Speedmaster

Hi Folks,

I have a 69 Speedmaster and I would like to have the option of wearing it on a Bracelet now and again.

I previously purchased a brand new 1171\1 with 633s but the bracelet really felt extremely flimsy and like a piece of scrap metal, needless to say I no longer have that bracelet.

I have since put out a WTB for some other vintage Speedmaster bracelets and had some offers from some kind members on here...but the prices are just way beyond what I am willing to pay I am afraid ( I do realise that these vintage bracelets are no longer a cheap item ).

Does any one have any experience of a decent aftermarket bracelet for the Speedmaster. Preferably it would have to be in the same style as the vintage bracelets i.e. nothing more modern than a 1171.

Thanks

P.S. I am not in the position to drop $1000 on a period bracelet so please don't insist that I just purchase the correct item 馃榾

Have you considered a mesh/Milanese bracelet? Can be had quite cheap.

Hi, I do quite like the Milanese but would prefer something that looks like the original bracelet or at the very least an Oyster style.

Thanks for the reply, 2 nice watches there!

There is non Omega flat link bracelets available for US$325. I have not tried them and I have no connection to the seller. I have seen them on both EBay and Chronotrader. If it helps the seller is an established name and I have dealt with him before.

Hi, I did see those but they do not include end links as far as I can see. According to the seller 633 end links need modified to fit and older end links again add to the cost.

Thanks
