I picked up a lovely 2015 Moonwatch Hesalite recently but i'm struggling to get a good fit. If I add a link its too big and if I go down to the second and final micro adjust hole on the clasp it's too small. A half link would be ideal but from my limited searching it seems Omega never made a half link for this bracelet? Clasp code is 1958/957.
Many thanks!
I had issues with the fit on mine and had great success by flipping the bracelet completely so the clasp folded the other way around. Worth a try?
That wouldn't change the size though (which seems to be issue) - only comfort of the clasp?Quote:

Both from my experience trying itQuote:

Get a seamaster clasp. It’s micro adjustable on the fly without tools. I did the same upgrade when I had the same watch.
What else does it require to fit the bracelet?Quote:

I did some research and found that the 117STZ001154 (six-microadjust) clasp and 2x 118ST1589 links are the pieces I need. The clasp in a video dated mid-2018 cost the producer $110, with the links at $50 a pop. I called a jeweler and emailed my local Omega boutique and have been quoted $240 for the clasp from both places. Links still $50. Has anyone gotten the 1154 clasp recently at a better price than $240-- over double the price from 2018?

Its the screwed version of the bracelet. Could one fit a pinned link I wonder?Quote:

If this is the bracelet with screws for the Speedmaster 1861, Uncle Seiko is selling a half link.
I had the same problem and I bought 2 links and the seamaster claps with micro adjustment.

Thanks. For that money I think I'd rather keep the original bracelet mint and stick the Forstner 1450 (a far nicer design, IMO) on it instead.Quote:

UnlimitedStraps have the Uncle Seiko 1479 with the choice of clasp for £110.
Dangerous thread, as I appear to have ordered a Forstener 1450, in attempt to get my 2017 Speedy onto an acceptable bracelet. It’s languished on a Rallye strap, as has never sat right with the stock bracelet.

Iirc from Omega Forums there were QC issues with the sprung links, although I think they still do a stretchy Oyster. Personally I like a Joseph Bonnie BonklipQuote:
