·Does anyone know if the 321 Ed White bracelet is also compatible with the trilogy Seamaster 300? I would assume yes since they all share the same stock non-tapered bracelet. Just wanted confirmation & see if anybody has tried it.

·Update: Just tried the Ed White (parts # 020STZ012773) bracelet on the Trilogy Seamaster and I don't believe the endlinks fit into the lug holes in the case. Even on 1.5mm spring bars. It's just shy of linking in... I have it on now with Forstner endlinks, which is only working with 1.5mm springbars as well, but that is resulting in a very loose gap between the case & endlink.
Anybody else with a SM300 trilogy have better luck??

Is that a 1039/516 bracelet, Eugene?

·Did the 321 bracelet/Speedy Trilogy combo using 1.5mm bars and it worked great. There is a slight play in the last link since it should be using the 1.8mm spring to hold the endlink to the bracelet but its not noticeable if you were it fit, if you like to were it lose it might bother some people.

·Hi all, I recently put my 60th on the Ed White bracelet using 1.5mm spring bars, and it worked, but the fitment was not very good. There was a noticeable rattle. The 1.8mm OEM Omega spring bars would not engage on both sides. I just wanted to let everyone know that I bought 1.7mm spring bars from Artem (https://artemstraps.com/products/springbars), and they are the best of both: perfect fitment with no rattling, but also fully engages both pins.

Does your Uncle Seiko flat link have a pretty noticeable fitment issue / gap between the end links and the case/lugs? As you can see in my photos, if the end link is flush with the case, it sits well below the lugs, but perhaps even "worse", when it is flush with the lugs, there is a pretty noticeable gap between the case.
Does this bother anyone? Or does it seem fine, given the cost of the bracelet and other improvements over the included bracelet (assuming I don't want to spring for the Ed White bracelet, at least not yet)?
Or, does anyone know if Forstner's flat link end links fit the Speedmaster 57 trilogy any better the Uncle Seiko's? And if they'd fit Uncle Seiko's flat link bracelet?! (Forstner has discontinued the 19mm polished/brushed flat link bracelets)...

·It is definitely less bulky and looks a lot better.
You will lose the on the fly clasp adjustment but I would say it is worth the trade off.
So I'm very interested in trying the Ed White bracelet on my Railmaster. I've tried the Uncle Seiko 19mm 1035 Flatlink as well as both the original and the Contemporary Forstners and had good success, but not perfect. My main issue with the aftermarket options are that the flat links are too flat...they don't have that gentle curving corners that the originals (both past and present) have.

·Having the Trilogy Railmaster in regular rotation for the past 6 years, I have to say the bracelet is one of my major gripes....no taper, "wrong" link widths and that huge 21mm monoblock-looking clasp. The on-the-fly adjustment is nice, but unfortunately, that is flawed too. Since each of the removable links is about 4mm and the amount of release from the quick-adjust is 3.5mm, there is NO OVERLAP, so it's impossible for me to find the "perfect" fit for my wrist....I go from one extreme to the other when I add or remove a link (3 degrees of "too tight" or 3 degrees of "too loose").

Yes: adjustment issue you mention I’ve noticed with many stock bracelets - too tight, too loose. I wonder if an old flat link with the spring links will fit on the 60th? Anyone given that a try?

With a good chair? Glass of port? A pipe? Classical music in the background?

·Does anyone know if the Ed White SS bracelet fits on the now discontinued FOIS? Also, do OB's have the ability to order just the Ed White SS bracelet? Thank you OF. Always appreciate your insight.

I believe the OB's can order it. Omega will sell just about any accessory.

It will fit the FOIS but you need to get aftermarket endlinks. Either from Uncle Seiko or Forstner. The stock Omega ones will not work.

·This thread has been dormant for a while, so another question: in the reverse of many of the posts, can anyone either confirm or speculate as to whether the Trilogy Speedmaster bracelet will fit without issue on either a new, or vintage Ed White? Thanks.
