Would YOU do it? Buying the head of the Speedy now, buying the bracelet later...

I know it is very exciting buying a watch especially a Speedmaster you have been longing for.

However, I believe you need to take your time and wait for the right example to come up. Right now you are considering (what I believe) are the wrong watches.

I’m only telling you this because I made the same mistake. I was so immersed into buying a vintage Speedmaster two years ago and I lost a lot of money in the process. It’s taken me another two years to find the right one.

Yes, yes I have a tendency to become monomaniacal about things. Working on it! =)

Just put a 1171 (vintage 70s) on my 2019 Speedmaster Professional. Looks nice.
Bought bracelet from “omegaparts4sale” on eBay. He said all his stock came from an Omega dealer who’d closed down .
It fitted just fine.
Just thought I’d share the seller.

Looks like the endlink is loose and it needs a little adjustment. Can you show a picture of the Omega logo on the clasp?
