Im in the minority here, I do not like the flat link bracelets. For me, its very flat, and then creates a very interesting juxtaposition, between the flat bracelet and curved lugs of the speedy. The lugs and case have lots of curved aspects to it, making the flat link bracelet appear disjointed. The current speedy bracelet, is more curved and to my eye looks more consistent with the case and lugs.

Now, I think the flat link bracelet looks far better on the straight lug speedy's.

I like the look a lot. Is it Omega OEM or from another source?

This one is from Forstner bands. I generally have my ST1 on racing bracelet and CK 2998 on a 1125/560 combo. It’s pretty cool to mix it up a little sometimes and enjoy a different combination

Great! I have the exact same one on order (polished/brushed). Should be here next week. I’ll be putting it on my Moonwatch with hesalite. Thanks for posting.

Love the look of the flat link, the current bracelet on the Speedmaster is a huge drawback for me.

I’m set I’ll waiting to see a strap or bracelet that the Speedy doesn’t look good on!

Agreed Fred looks amazing. Very nice. I love wearing a couple professionals these days with the apollo 11 50th bracelet and the 321 comes with a similar bracelet that's just so silky smooth/comfortable.
