·While it looks great, can I ask why you've made a replica of an already available bracelet? Not "replica = fake", mind you.
I looked everywhere online to find one to buy for myself, and while I heard people say "You can still get them through an AD" I just couldn't find one. And if I was having trouble getting one, that means others were also.

·Any plans to make the Speedmaster bracelets available on the UK / EU Uncle Seiko site?
That would be more than Great!

Anything non-Seiko related is going to stay in the US. Sorry. I ship worldwide though

·I would personally be an immediate customer for a flat link bracelet even if R&D pushed per-unit sale price up to $500, as long as it was slim and light. No stretch links required.

My plan is to always keep the price under $100, but yeah, the flat link is being worked on. I got the prototype. Need to make some changes

Okay. I find the choice to make one a bit odd compared to your other offerings of non-available out of stock bracelets, but I don't find your business ethics questionable.
Looking forward to seeing that flat link bracelet 👍

··Nowhere near as grumpy as he used to be...@Uncle Seiko are those endlinks as provided or filed down?
Also please don't take my earlier remarks as a disparagement. I do find the Omega 1171-1/633 a little overpriced and I have one. I was just surprised that you went this route.

··Nowhere near as grumpy as he used to be...I’ve tried that. Ended up being sent a modern 1998 bracelet that I had to return. I was told that based on my watches serial number the 1171 wasn’t the correct bracelet so they couldn’t send me one 🙁

·@Uncle Seiko Looks great! I assume it has solid endlinks unlike Omega's 1171? Can't wait to see the flat link!

·The end-links don't require any filing, and no, they are not solid (to answer two questions at once). All the info you need will be on the page when it is posted on Monday.

Sorry for the delay. Not much to tuck. You would need to remove all the links and then maybe use the 2nd hole from the bottom. I am already talking to my manufacturer and will have to come out with a shorter version in a couple of months as an option.

Stats from your website, the length for the US-Mexico Holzer is 180mm and 120mm minimum.
Having a wrist on the smaller side, can we have the stats for the US1171 President please?

·Looks like a great alternative...Though I have some reservations about these being sold on OF. This may be better sold on a rep forum.
For example, would I be able to swap out the clasp and end links for genuine 1171 and 633 which looks to be about $60 on EBay (just a quick search, didn’t check if those NOS clasps are authentic)?
May I ask where these are being manufactured? And what other items that factory is in the business of making?

This group of guys helped me with input ideas and what to do (and what not to do) with some of the details, so I am sharing the fruits of our collective labor 😉
