While I do prefer the flat link as a bracelet, in this case I think the first suits it better.

I honestly prefer the fabric strap it comes with due to the contrasting color and more utilitarian look. The bracelets make it look too dressy imo. If I had to pick, I would go with the flatlink (right side).

Doesn't the one on the right only come in 19mm?

I think the flatlink bracelet in the photoshop is from the A11 50th, which is 20mm.

Left side I really like that look. Definitely looks nice on a bracelet. I still think it isn’t right you guys who are purchasing this are not getting a bracelet.

I’m not a fan of either look. This is one of the few Speedmasters where I think the OEM strap is better than any bracelet you could slap on it. With the bracelet you’re missing some much needed contrast to the silver dial.

Agreed - I think the strap looks better for the reasons you have noted.

I like the left one best for these reasons:
- it's less tapered, so the head of the watch doesn't seem bigger in proportion, or the bracelet doesn't seem too much narrow
- it's less polished, so less shiny, so less elegant, so more sportier, so like the watch itself
- it's less polished, so more brushed, so it's more like the case itself
- it's less polished, so more brushed, so less light-reflecting, so a little "darker", so it correctly has more contrast with the silver dial

I like the flat link. I'm not a huge fan of the current Speedy Pro bracelet.

I've been informed that the new Snoopy will fit the A11 50th bracelet, so I'm leaning towards the right.

Personally I find silver/white dial Speedmasters look better on a contrasting textile/leather strap. Just me. But if I had to choose, the one on the right. Never been a fan of the current bracelet design.

1171/633 is what I’d do.
