Just arrived today: A brand new 1125 bracelet with 560 end pieces. It works, doesn't look awful, but I think I need # 617 end pieces, for a more proper fit, instead of the 560s that came supplied with the bracelet:   KAT |

Looks good, KAT. I don't know if I would ever change out the steel bracelet on my Speedy, although when I got it I did consider a mesh one, which looks amazing also.
I'm actually going to the Boutique tomorrow, and looking at a leather strap for the AT. I never thought that I would be even thinking about it, and this soon, but the idea came into my head this morning.
I actually tried on the FOIS last Sunday, thinking that I might prefer the slightly smaller size. However, once on my wrist, it really didn't seem any smaller. I think the fact that mine is non-symmetrical, with the extra 2mm around the crown and push pins makes the size difference barely noticeable.
Cheers

Looks good, Kat. Was your Speedy originally on a bracelet?

Irwin, The First Omega in Space ONLY comes on a brown leather strap, which has disappointed many enthusiasts. After doing some research, I found that the 1125 bracelet should fit, so I had my Dealer order one directly from Omega. The 1125 is retro, like thewatch, so is a good match, I think.   KAT |

Kat, I'm a bracelet guy, big time, but yours looks great with the strap. I was thinking the same thing, after seeing the pics together. Omega did a nice job with this watch, and the strap is a big hit, but it's nice to have the option of a bracelet, especially in the humid NJ Summers. In general, I think the Speedy looks better on a nice strap.....on anyone. The 1125 bracelet is fairly inexpensive, especially going through my guy, so worth the investment. KAT |

Here is my FOIS on the 1125 using the 617 end pieces:  The 560 end pieces do not reach to the ends of the lugs like the 617s. The trick with the 617s is to use 1.5mm spring bars. |

The bracelet is superb, I really like the closer tolerances of the new end pieces. I too feel there should be a choice between this set up and the strap, or perhaps even both could be included?
