First post and a need I want one , I’ve a speedy mk 4.5 in for repair and when it comes back I want to actually use it - however the strap is woefully too small. Any idea where I can source two maybe three number 12 bracelet links ( I bought some 176 links but they are slightly different ) see photos . Any help advice would be appreciated

The Mark 4.5 often came with the samne bracelet combination as the Mark II, the 1162/173 bracelet.

Post a picture of the complete bracelet, with end links and that should tell us from there.

I will do when it actually comes back - the image shows the 172 link on top of it - looks like the centre link is wider than the 172/173

Indeed, you are correct - 172 end links for 22mm lug width.
However, the bracelets were similar options, such as the 1162 and the 1159 being common. That said, I have seen a lot of reports that for the Mark series in particular, many US and European dealers offered whatever bracelet the purchaser liked. There was one owner on here who bought a Mark II with an OEM 1171 bracelet and trapezoid clasp. It looks very well.
