Someone reported to me that they have a bracelet with removable links that don't have the arrows engraved on these removable links. Has anyone ever see/authenticated a bracelet with "no-arrow" links?.
About the blank link, I've seen them at least twice and mine does not have it. I think it's an early one (and seems legit). Here is one that was sold with EOA saying the watch was indeed sold with a 1450 and looks like doesn't have the arrow => https://timeanagram.com/fr/products/7851?_pos=8&_sid=6ebb20427&_ss=r
The plot thickens... It seems odd that there were so many variants, but who knows how the inner workings of the manufacturing went at that time. Do the arrowless links require you to push the pins in a certain direction or can they be pushed out in either direction?
I think this is a great example of how deep the dive can go on this sort of topic.
Personally, I wear one of the US 1450 clones on my Speedy, along with one of the 1162/173 clasps, and it scratches my 1450 bracelet itch.
