Oh, cool - this is the old one right? because the new Pro´s has got 20mm instead of the 19mm from the FOIS right?

You need the 617 end links to go with a 1125 or 1171 bracelet to fit the FOIS

What's the difference between both bracelets? (1125 - 1171)

I have what I believe to be original 1171 and 1125 bracelets and apart from the different clasps, there isnt much to differentiate the two. The 1125 is fractionally narrower at the lug end by less than 0.5mm. The centre part is also the same width for both at 9.5mm so the same end links can be used on both bracelets.

Edit: added a photo of the 1125 and 1171

Of course there is price to consider for new Omega of these models from Ofrei.com 🙄

1125
OME-022ST1125000
$360.00

1171OME-1171-000
$248.00

Personally I would prefer new the new ones, vs older made, for the FOIS. After all, it is a new watch. 😀

Yeah, nothing in the watch world ever seems to make sense. 😜
