Dear all,

Owning a Hydroconquest L3.741.4.56.6 (old bezel, black, 39mm).
Never been a huge fan of the braclet, but love the watch.

Can anyone recommend fitting bracelets, especially ones that I could combine with the original parts that make the ‚connection‘ to the case? (Missing the correct word here). I don’t want to look at the bare spring bars and have that gap in-between.

Thanks all!

"Fitted end links." I believe that's the term. Good luck with your search. I have the same LHC, only in blue, and the bracelet is maybe the worst part of it. I've never been able to get it to fit comfortably, and the 19mm width means finding another bracelet is very difficult. However, 20mm straps will generally cram in there. Leather, rubber, canvas, NATOs. I'd go that route. Unfortunately, the case between the lugs (the part the bracelet covers) is really roughly finished. Like, it matches with no other part of the watch and almost looks unfinished. I have no idea what Longines was thinking here. Even cheap Casios have consistent finishing between the lugs.

Finally have found a solution that works so far:
19mm Forstner Flat Link Bracelet for Omega Speedmaster (fully brushed in my case).

For Europe customers I recommend their UK Shop.

Sizing was easy, and you need to use the Forstner end-links but the spring bars needed some "bending". Let me know what you think:
