What is this unmarked bracelet that’s trying to be a flat-link?

    20 mm ends, marked 47. Seems like it would fit a asymmetrical Speedmaster. Finished just like a flat-link. Has no marking on the clasp other than a 73 stamp, which I assume is the date. Look familiar to any bracelet gurus?

    Looks like an 1175 to me. The links aren't quite flat like a 1039, but they're slimmer than the 1171. It's essentially a middle ground between the two. Love 'em

    Definitely 1175. The 47s do not fit that well on speedmaster cases. The bracelet looks nice though.

    Any idea what it’s specifically intended for?

    Sorry, meant the “47”s specifically.

    Could have been one of the Seamasters of the era.

    I don’t think the Seamasters of the era were 20mm? Most were 19mm?

    Here’s my f300hz on its original 1175 with 19mm 48 endlinks:

    It is at the inflection point between 2 and 3 digit endlinks. I think that it is possible that it originally came on some Speedmasters (145.022), but any 20mm lugged watch from between 2nd quarter of 71 and some time in the early 80s, could have potentially be used on a 47 endlink, as they were supplied at the boutique when someone was purchasing a watch.

    The 47 end link number is absent from Mstegnas chart, linked above. I would bow to his authority on this one, but I would very much like to see if anyone has a seen a 145.022 that originally came on 47 endlinks.

    What's the price point for a 1175? This bracelet was new to me and I kind of want it now :D

    In the region of £500, depending on condition, a couple come up on ebay every month.
