Have recently acquired a flightmaster. Love the style and robust design of watch. The watch is vgc ,been refurbished and fitted with a new bracelet . The bracelet feels very flimsy compared to watch body. It is correctly marked "stainless steel" "Omega" etc. but compared to my seamaster bracelet it just feels thin and poor quality. Looked at pics of bracelets on net and they look similar to mine but without touch hard to compare. Can anybody with an original comment on the bracelet quality. I realise I am comparing early 70's design with 21st century technology and this may contribute to the quality difference . I would welcome thoughts. thank you.

I've had two Flghtmasters and a number of other 70s Omegas. The bracelets do feel a little flimsy, especially when they are on one of the chunky cased watches. They are even worse with a bit of stretch and wear.

When youre used to current bracelets with solid end pieces and heavy links, most seventies bracelets feel rather flimsy.
