SMP and AT bracelets are interchangable! *PIC*

I just did a test and confirmed -- the OMEGA bracelets that fit the full-size Seamaster Professional and GMT are interchangable with those for the 38mm Aqua Terra and Railmaster. The end pieces are a perfect fit, despite the fact that the cases are technically listed as 39.3 versus 38mm. I suspect that the cases really are identical and the 1.3mm measured difference is due only to an slight outer curvature diff for the crown guards on the SMP.

One might easily suspect that the mid-size SMP bracelet would be interchangable with the 35mm Aqua Terra. No idea about the 41mm Aqua Terra -- do not have one available to try.

Based on my experiment, a Railmaster looks pretty good on a Bond bracelet! But I still think the Railmaster is best on a strap and the Bond SMP is best on its original bracelet.
