With the improvements Omega have made over the last few years to their bracelets throughout the ranges, do you feel that it is maybe time for the Moonwatch pro bracelet to have an overhaul, both too the aesthetics and function (micro adjust etc).

I'd like them to go back to the more toolish looking earlier style. The new ones look a bit blingy imo. I wouldn't say no to glidelock though so long as it didn't end up being a nasty thick clasp. While they're not the best in the world, I love the old micro-adjustment clasps because they were simple and relatively discrete. The clasp on my broad arrow however, is unplasant and chunky even if it is far better made.
I fitted an adjustable clasp on the original pin type. Lots of information on parts needed etc on WUS Omega forum.Originally Posted by JP Chestnut
I've often thought this. I wonder how hard it would be to make a modern version of the 1039, bearing in mind the watch head is essentially the same as the moonwatch.
I tried on a Grand Seiko 36000 GMT a couple of years ago and thought while the watch head was unbelievably well made, the bracelet was a pile of junk. I don't know if they've improved of late but it shouldn't be hard to make a decent bracelet, especially with some adjustability. Rolex seems to be miles ahead of their competition in this respect.
