·Some Boutiques or AD's will not sell them as they are not meant for other models, but some will order them for you and even help on the installation, so keep looking 😉

·I'm about to do the upgrade on an older Seamaster bracelet (pins&collars). This is the old Chrono Diver 300M 2599.80, with the 1504/826 bracelet, which has no micro adjustment.
After researching all these relevant threads I ordered the 1154 clasp and all the other required parts from Gassan in Amsterdam (local AD, there's no OB in the Netherlands), and I will give it a go. Price was very decent: eur 196.- for the whole thing.
I can post pics of the process if people are interested. Let's see how much I like it, I may do the same on my Speedy Apollo XV 35th, albeit with the shorter 4666 clasp.

·I recently bought a seamaster professional ceramic with the flat blue dial and only gripe was the clasp. After reading everyone’s post n this thread I decided to order a micro clasp with the 3 adjustments. Omega Birmingham said they would order but I had to come to the shop, Omega in Bond Street and Oxford street said they would not even order the part for me as not for that watch but Omega Regent street said they would happily order it for me and post it to me but they will not fit it as do not fit any form of upgrade. Unfortunately they have none in stock in the uk but she will phone me when they have it in and I can pay for it then. I also asked about a ceramic pin buckle in case in summer I fit a divers strap to watch. Il be interested what they quote me for ceramic buckle as I’ve seen them on eBay for £189. She has told me the micro clasp with 3 adjustments ref 117STZ004666 will cost £87

·I just got the black SMPc (212.30.41.20.01.003). My wrist is 6.5 inches (16.5 cms). Should I go with the 117stz001154 clasp?

I suggest the small clasp for you.

·Thanks fskywalker and VetPsychWars! Just called Omega Boutique here in the U.S. The guy told me the cost of the 4666 doubled in price, it now costs $240! One of the main reasons I was inclining towards the 4666 was the much lower price of the 1154. Looks like they cost the same now 🙁

I bought a 4666 clasp about 2 months ago from my local Omega Boutique for $107 plus tax, that price ($240) must be wrong.

Have a local jeweler call Omega directly, he might be lying.

Welcome to the new world of Omega pricing, where things can double, triple, or quadruple overnight! Trust me I have expressed my displeasure with these crazy unpredictable pricing swings with Omega here in Canada, but the reply is always that Switzerland sets the prices...

That is what the salesperson over the phone said as well. Was surprised as I was with the new price and even apologized 😜. Said these unexpected price hikes tend to happen.

·Decided to get the 117stz001154 clasp.
I will be traveling to South America soon, and pre-ordered one from one of the Omega boutiques there and will pick it up next month. In USD currency it cost me about $200. I wonder why it was cheaper there. Perhaps the duties/import fee from Switzerland to South America is less than Switzerland to US.

·I went to the shop to have some links removed from my Speedy. Lord knows Ms. High Hope and I have spent some money there. My friendly watch guy (mid Atlantic US) had a brand new 6 in his back room, even though he doesn’t carry Omega. $175 out the door in 15 minutes, I think I did ok. I love it, and find myself adjusting it AM, lunch, and PM just before leaving work. Ok, it’s a novelty, and I’m a Speedy newbie, but man, what a comfortable bracelet.

Was quoted 2 months ago $430 for the 1151, if the prices just went up again should be well over that! 😲
