I'd consider picking up the Uncle Seiko 1171 first to see if you like it - significantly cheaper and (per reviews) an excellent equivalent. I have one and it's OK, but it was a bit too light for my tastes - especially with hollow end links. I find the 1450 to be significantly more comfortable with the flat inside and to feel better with the solid end links.
Maybe one thing to be considered with the new Omega 1171: I have a 16.5cm wrist and I am on the third hole of the micro adjustment. So it is maybe not the best choice for small wrists.

That means that there is no removable link on this one? 🤨
S Speedy17I love it. Do you know who large the taper is? Ie what’s the final width at the clasp in mm? I tried the new bracelet from the 3861 and I think it’s too much taper for me.
I like the idea of swapping clasps for an omega original. Are there certain models or years I should look for to make sure it fits?
thanks for the help!

Uncle Seiko 1450 tapers to 16mm, just like the original. Not quite as much as the 3861 bracelet, which tapers to 15mm.
S Speedy17Thanks. Do you know if the 1171 bracelet tappers down to the same width?
