Hi all.
A public service announcement for those who are interested.
I love this rep and as far as Speedmaster reps are concerned, of which there aren't many good ones, this is pretty good imo.
Here is the gen for reference.
The standard metal bracelet is OK but the positive end-links don't enhance the wearing experience.
The rubber strap is pretty good and comfortable but of course, it is a pretty casual look.
I tried this rubber strap designed for a 19mm Aqua Terra and it fit well. I also liked the look of the "metal" end link but it still didn't satisfy my need for a more dressy metal option.
To cut a long story short, I ended up getting this Uncle Seiko bracelet which fits perfectly, has slightly negative end-links and is very comfortable.

This one is also compatible by the way. You need to get the standard end-link 19mm version for all options.

The hollow end-links make no difference.
The bracelet links themselves are solid and if the pressed metal clasp worries you, which is pretty solid by the way, there is an option to upgrade to a milled clasp.

Hope this helps.
FG.

US1035 Flat Link Bracelet (Omega Speedmaster 19/20mm)
Uncle's notes For years now, Speedmaster fans have been groaning at the dearth of options available for their iconic watch. The originals (if you can find them) cost absurd amounts of money. Even certain reproductions are outrageously priced. I came to the conclusion that this has to stop. We...

US1171 Bracelet (Omega Speedmaster 19/20mm)
Uncle's notes While I love wearing my Speedmaster, there was something about the bracelet that just wasn't right with me. For some reason between the removable links and micro-adjustments I was still unable to achieve the perfect fit. Add to that I am a vintage guy at heart and the stock...

Double Button Milled Clasp (Speedmaster/Seamaster/BB58)
The double-button milled clasp is without a doubt the best clasp we offer to date. I have received so many requests from customers who had already purchased the US1450, but who wanted to upgrade their clasp. So I've made these for anyone who wants to blend their vintage bracelet with a more...
