    Speedy Bracelet on SMPc help

    A call out to any of you guys that's done this, when I offer the end links up to the case without spring bars fitted and look through the loupe I can only see half of the lug holes.

    It won't fit Matt.

    The endlinks are too big. You need the bracelet from the 2254/2264.

    Ah shucks Ross, I thought you only needed different end links at the clasp end

    The 'Speedmaster type' bracelet fitted to some SMPs, the 1610/930 isn't actually the same as the bracelet as fitted to Speedmasters (though the removable links are identical). The end links will be rather different as you have clearly discovered. You may be able to find some end links to work but one complication is that you are using the new type screwed Speedmaster bracelet so can't just swap in the 930 end pieces from the 2254 like you could if you had the 1998 pin type Speedmaster Bracelet. I am a bit stumped unless you can find an end piece that works. Otherwise you need a 1610/930 or a 1998 and 930 end pieces. In their wisdom, when Omega discontinued the 2254 design, they also stopped making the Speedy type SMP bracelet so swaps like this are no longer so easy.

    I tried mine on the 2254 Bracelet, but as I’ve put an adjustable clasp on the new style Bond bracelet I prefer that.
    It's just a matter of time...

    Yes I've gone back to my bond with adjustable clasp Scott, comfy as, but I thing the Speedy Bracelet has the edge in the looks department.
