Omega flat link bracelet + end links Forstner.

R Rioveggite67

Hi everyone. I need this information. I have a Speed pre 3861 with an Omega flat link bracelet (the one from the Apollo XI 50th anniversary). Unfortunately, the end links doesn't fit the case well (in fact, the cases of the 1861 and 3861 models are different). Do you think it's possible to replace the original end caps with the Forstner end links? Thanks, anyone who can help me?

Do you need to make any changes? Can the ends scratch the lugs?

Thank's.
Both can be purchased separately. The Forstner is more expensive. Which one do you recommend? I mean, which one do you prefer? From what I read on the website, solid Uncle Seiko end links are available, while Forstners aren't.

As you can see from the photos, the endlinks aren't strictly identical.

Here Is the result! What do you think?

Looks good. I put the speedmaster 57 flatlink on my Snoopy 50. The tiny bit of overhang does not trigger even my ocd, which is considerable.
And I need to consider finding one like yours, I need a moonphase watch that's not a fake swatch.....
