Hi guys, I found an Omega 3592 which I'm interested in, but I'm no expert with Speedmasters so I wanted to hear your thoughts on this:


Is the gap between the end links of the bracelet and the lugs normal? The watch is from 1995, comes with box and papers. Is there anything amiss from the pictures?

Thanks all!

Hey [emoji15] ! Is this another Speedmaster thread ? Imagine that !

 

Yeah, that gap is very concerning - the 1479/812 bracelet which is period correct for the 3592, while regularly derided as the "hair puller," had solid end links which installed pretty tight to the case and lugs. The end links pictured look like they've been polished excessively and/or ground down somehow.
Also, can't really tell from the pics but the end link looks like it's an 813 instead of 812, which was the end link used for the 19mm Speedy Reduced lugs, which would explain the gap.
Either way I wouldn't consider this piece at all. If you're looking for a 3592 best bet is to do a WTB here and/or contact some of the larger Speedy sellers to keep an eye out.

Thanks so much for the help! I'll keep an eye out then
