·I'm just glad I've managed to wear it most of the day without needing to put a plaster on my wrist like I was expecting!
I have a similar level of droop, but these links look closer together to me... maybe it's just the photo
If I could get the blue rubber strap I would probably get it but TAG don't keep it anymore. 🙁[/QUOTE
Sorry, my blue strap is from a store in town. I‘ve been told it is made from „structured“ leather, so no handbag had to die for it…
After owning this watch for almost 7 years, I finally put it on a bracelet. Couldn't resist giving my Speedy FOIS the Ed White flat-link look. However, I needed 3rd party end links to make the Omega 321 bracelet fit - just in time for #SpeedyTuesday! 😀
Which end links did you get, I have the flatlink for my A11 50SS which I think would be the same as for the 321 OEM except for the end links being 20mm. My Seamaster trilogy is 19mm so was wondering if your solution would make the bracelet work on the Trilogy as well?
I used the Forstner 19mm end links, as I wanted solid end links. But I also just ordered the Uncle Seiko 19mm end links. Even though I believe the Uncle Seiko is a hollow link, from pictures it looks like the shape matches the FOIS's lug shape a little better. Only 25 bucks, so I figured why not give them a try. However, if your bracelet is 20mm and your Seamaster lugs are 19mm, you'll also need to check to make sure the bracelet ends clear the lugs. I'm afraid they might not, in which case they might bind at the lugs and not fold down nicely.
I'm really enjoying the 321 bracelet. But I must say I'm very surprised that the bracelet for Omega's "halo" watch only has two micro adjustments. People complain that the Tudor Black bay only has 3 and no glide lock, but only two on the Omega simply isn't acceptable for a watch that costs $14k USD.
I have the US1035 as well but the end links won't work on the A11 flatlink. Measured the top link which attaches to the A11 end link but it's 19.5mm. so it appears the 321 bracelet is different, would you be so kind to confirm the mm of the top link of the 321?
Top link on the 321 is exactly 19mm (as measured by my good old fashion ruler), it tapers down to 15mm at the clasp. The end link is 19mm as well.
So, no go with Forster end links with my A11 flatlink, then I'll stick to the US1035 for which I was able to get the infamous ebay Omega clasp cover.
Tnx.
I'm confused as to why you're using the Uncle Seiko US1035 (+ replica? Omega clasp cover) on your Seamaster Trilogy. I thought that watch already came with a very nice flat link style bracelet, no? 😵💫
No taper and the bulky clasp on the OEM are the main reasons.
