    Good afternoon, I just received my US 1171 which I like a lot, however I would like to update the clasp ( or even just cover) in order to add the Omega logo on it.
    Except 1171/633 , which other clasp( or just the cover) if any would fit?
    I will be happy if anyone has one for sale or point me where to source one.
    Thank you in advance and take care.

    I guess I am alone here.
    Just ordered this one. According to the seller - the measurements are exactly the same with the Uncle Seiko 1171 clasp. Wish me luck
    I hope it is a genuine one as stated.

    I can confirm this is the exact one you want. And the OP is not alone. I have done this mod to both my Uncle Seiko 1711 and the flat link and it looks awesome

    Also, just FYI, here is a link to the so called “Canadian Clasp Covers”

    They are pretty cool because you do not have to go to the expense of buying the whole clasp, just the cover. They claim to be NOS but given this guys seemingly infinite stock and the fit and finish, I’m not convinced they genuine.

    if you look at photos of historic Speedmaster bracelets, these clasps almost perfectly match the ones which came on the flat link bracelets, how they are brushed but with the polished edge and the raised Onega logo. This can be seen on the top photo in the post above on my Uncle Seiko brushed/polished flat link.

    So my original 1171 bracelet with the trapezoidal logo doesn't really fit me, and was "repaired' inadequately at somepoint in the past to where I now can't take out links to reduce the size. Does the original 1171 clasp cover fit the US 1171?

    This thread seems dangerously close to the line.

    I used an Omega 1162/173 clasp on the US1450 works perfect.
