I'll clarify that because >>17910361 is only half-right.

The original bracelet is unusable (stretched and fragile), so the question became what to do: I could keep it on leather forever, but I prefer bracelets. I love the flatlink design, as I think it is ideal for the head of the watch, but the quality wasn't out there. So, I ended up getting the Apollo 11 50th Anniversary Flatlink bracelet that normally comes on the 50th anniversary Speedy; you can buy the bracelet as a separate component from Omega directly. The only problem is that the endlinks for that one only fit the new midcase (which has an extra step or a different size step). That meant I had a bracelet but no endlinks to fit it on. Luckily, another fellow on either WUS or OmegaForums (can't remember which) had already done a conversion, and they used Uncle Seiko endlinks for the US flatlink and the Omega 50th Annivesary bracelet for their 1861. So, that's what I did. The endlinks are from Uncle Seiko, and the bracelet/clasp is OEM.

I went this route because my 321 is a keeper 4life, so I wanted a bracelet to match. If you don't want to go that route due to cost, consider Forstner Flatlink bracelets or Uncle Seiko. Either one will do, and they have options like fully brushed, or some polished sections, etc.

Your electric blue quartz Seamaster looks awesome, btw; I trust it's keeping great time! Does that help?
