Omega 1171 bracelet
This may have been posted in the past but just curious.
Anyone have any experience with the current 1171 bracelet available from Omega? I would kind of like to have the option of putting a vintage style bracelet on my Speedy Pro from time to time just for nostalgia. This wouldn't be a day in day out bracelet. I know they are on the light aluminum side but would it be worth the $450 price of entry just for occasional use? Thanks |

I had one it and it kept popping open when i bent my wrist. Omega actually ended up refunding my money on this one. Pretty disappointing...but looked awesome.

They are cool looking...but there is a reason the bracelet has been continually updated since the 60's I suppose. I may take a pass on it...a bit too spendy to not have odds of working.

I think it’s worth it. Flimsy, rattly, but much better looking than the newer bracelet
