• Bottom line - These bracelets are a must-have for your Modern and Neo-Vintage Omega Speedmaster and Seamaster models. They offer a historical and iconic to Omega aesthetic, along with a wide range of functional micro-adjustment to dial in the fitment beyond the OEM offerings of the time, which typically only featured half-links at-best (or sometimes not-at-all), as well as easy-to-use single screw-pin construction vs. previous pin-and-collar and modern dual-screw layouts. Full link articulation, even aids in overall comfort, all for under $200 and as much as I’d like to eventually see updates like a toolless micro-adjusting clasp, I’m sure it would add to the cost, which is currently in a relative sweet spot vs. new from Omega options.
Love your omega neo vintage trilogy. I'm working on a similar collection myself. I have a Speedmaster 3572.50 from 1998 and a SMP 300M Ceramic non wave. I am searching for a clean example of the 2503.52. Omega and Seiko are my favourite brands.
Thanks, and sounds like you've got quite the trilogy in the works as well, enjoy the hunt!
I wonder if the flat link bracelet will fit on my timex marlin chronograph, that would be killer!
Great comparison and these fit really good with the watch. Sidenote: Did you get anything done on your teeth, noticed the speech is a bit different. Hope you're doing good. All the best Mark and keep the videos coming.
I did have some dental work done, hopefully I'm sounding more back to normal soon
My Omega OEM bracelet tapers and has an easy Glyde micro adjust on the fly. It is perfect.
Yep, the latest iterations are great 👍
@AverageBros, but if I had an older model, then I would definitely consider this bracelet!
Those bracelets look really good on those Omegas. Dig the vintage look on those watches. My problem is.......my railmaster is the newer brushed stainless dial. Brushed tool watch. No bling on that one😂
My other, thanks to your buds at Belmont watches, is a 2011? Seamaster pro in titanium. Can't swap that one either.
On a side note, the older seamaster is running at around minus one second after 4 days now. Outstanding accuracy. Why does my new GS high beat run a plus 6 a day?😔
@@Koishishibaman First world problems 😂
Caution on their bracelets with "stretch" links such as the 1450 reissue, which I purchased from Forstner for my 1969 Speedy. Poor quality as stretch links fail. I do have the much more expensive 40 year old OEM 1450, which is muchhhhhhh higher quality. Forums online have reported the above same quality issue at Forstner, so apparently product quality is so-so after a few weeks of wear. I contacted Forstner, they emailed back once and then afterwards no followup. Some on the forums got a replacement, but obviously not everyone.
You're only doing this promo video just because you like the brand so much?
Yeah, I'm making this video because I want to. That's why I make any of my videos. They sent me the first one to try on my Speedy and it literally inspired me to buy the Seamaster and Railmaster to make a full set, that's how much I like them.
@@AverageBros I apologize. All the best. I like the light transitions you do with the colored shiny reflections. That's awesome. Nobody else does that and it's a great idea you came up with.
A Railmaster Seamaster Aqua Terra... for trains that go in the ocean... wtf Omega
😂 to be fair they just invented the Aqua Terra at the time and clearly evolved the idea of the Railmaster
