      Hya mate- Where was that from? If you don’t mind me asking. I just paid £210 today (well more real, £300 for the clasp and 2x links) to upgrade my Speedmaster

      @@manuel_winde Mine is the 3 position clasp without a dive extension. I found last summer 1 click was all I needed tbh and I don't dive so it does me fine. You'll find it's a godsend and wonder how you managed without! Anyway good luck and all the best 👍

    After you get over the sticker shock on the price, I think the value proposition is solid. Especially given the investment into the watch itself and that beautiful bracelet. Anything you can do to keep that bracelet and have it more comfortable is win for $200.

    I just spent £300/$330 on the clasp and 2 links for my Speedmaster. For me it’s worth it and if I wanted to offset the cost I’d probably get back £100 for the old speedy pro clasp on eBay. But I’m someone’s who weight fluctuates a lot and also someone who gets hot so on the fly adjustments are imperative for me. Really excited for when it gets here

  • @dkatkins5849

    I think it's worth the investment because the other clasp didn't really give you options for micro adjust.

    I have a 2010 Seamaster and my clasp is the same length as the new adjustable. Strange that Omega shortened the clasp just to lengthen it again!

  • @surfitli

    I would definitely say it’s worth it. On the fly adjustment is great. I wish the microbrands could do something similar. Most of them look odd when the extension is open.

    • @EverydayWatchGuy

      Yep, agree it would be nice if more micro-brands offered this level of micro-adjustment in their clasps.

    Nice upgrade and great review of the new clasp. I've ordered the adjustable clasp with 3 positions for my SMP. I don't any trouble sliding the watch off my wrist, but worth getting the larger 6 point adjustable clasp if that's the case. There's also one available with the 6 positions of adjustment with a diver extension as well. Thanks again for your review of the OEM adjustable clasp.😀👍

    Do you know if the latest bracelet (which includes that clasp and screws) on the 42mm watches will fit the pre-ceramic 41mm models that used to have pins? Lug width on both is 20mm but wasn't sure.

      I replaced the clasp on my discontinued (2017) Omega SMP, with an original Omega clasp for the new line (2018, 25th anniversary addition). This was ordered an installed by Raffi's Jewelers, where I made the purchase. Cheers.

    Hi , is this the only part you need order to do the upgrade ? Do you need endlinks or anything ? I assume you might also need to remove a link or two to get the fit right ( depending on wrist size)

    • @EverydayWatchGuy
      @EverydayWatchGuy  3 роки тому +2

      The replacement clasp is compatible with the older Seamaster bracelet, so you don't need any other components. Since the clasp is a bit longer, you might need to remove a link from the bracelet to have it sized for your wrist though.

      It might depend on the size of the Aqua terra (like a 42mm version). The bracelet would have to be 20mm at the end, if you just wanted to try and get the Seamaster clasp to take.

      Matt Hoffman yeap, i mean this clasp will look good on a seamaster or speedmaster due to their sportier design. But personally i rly like the aqua terra clasp. I even ordered one clasp for safe keeping and intend to switch it when it’s time for service. I feel the clasp is easier to spoil than the movement due to constant opening and closing.
