Speedmaster 3570.50 Half Link?

Does anyone know if the new Speedmaster Pros with bracelet 1998/849 come with a half link?

I received mine new from an AD and did not see a half link. My other Omega came with one. Fr. John, do you happen to know?

Thanks!

They do not come standard on a Speedmaster Pro as a link option. You can find one on ebay but the typical is a half link that comes on the Seamaster Pro which should fit on the 1998/849 bracelet

Here is a picture. You have to order it separately.

Thanks for the quick responses guys! Do you know why Omega chooses to use half links on some but not all of their models?

Omega won't sell it to you directly because it is not an option for your Speedy Bracelet. Best option would be from Ofrei if you know the exact part number or on ebay. The half link came with the Omega Seamaster Pro current model bracelet; the one that has the same pattern as the 1998/849 bracelet. Just take a look on the bay.
