Re: Further thoughts on the 1610-930 bracelet
In Response To: Further thoughts on the 1610-930 bracelet *LINK* ()

: After commenting directly and more extensively
: to your original Post, Ray, I wanted to add
: some thoughts to John's valuable
: contribution here.

: I also own the 2254.50 SeMPC, on the 1610-930
: bracelet. However, although it is the same
: year as my 2531.80 on the 1503-825 bracelet
: (the subject of your question, Ray), there
: are a number of differences that go to your
: Post.

: 1. Lettering on the Bond bracelet has the
: square-shaped "O" in
: "Professional," and the 1610-930
: has the round-shaped "O" (like
: your earlier Bond bracelet).

: 2. Part number "930" appears to be
: stamped, off to the side, on the 1610-930
: braclet end-link, as on your original
: 1503-825 bracelet. Again, "825" is
: centered and appears to be laser-etched on
: my new Bond bracelet.

: Additionally (and I'm not sure if this is a
: good thing in terms of options, or a bad
: thing in terms of continuity), its hard to
: say if lettering on the 1503-825 and
: 1610-930 bracelets is comparable. The
: face-length on the deployant clasp for each
: is the same (36mm), but the Bond clasp is
: 20mm wide, and the clasp on the 1610-930 is
: 18mm wide.

I appreciate all the feedback. I've contacted Omega in NJ and they have asked me to forward hi res pics to them which I did this morning. I'll keep you informed on their response.
