·Calling Omega bracelet experts!
I happen to be in possession of two 1159/154 bracelets at the moment. (Yeah, greedy, I know.)
The odd thing is, although they look identical from the outside, i.e. when being worn, they are quite different underneath. The underside of the links is different, the link pins are different (I think), the clasps are different lengths, the way the clasps clip closed is different, even the width of the middle link that joins the clasp is different. The parts are therefore not interchangable.
Pics below. The bracelet on the top in each pic has the number '11' in a circle stamped on the clasp; the bracelet on the bottom in each pic has a number '30' in a circle. Both clasps are also stamped 1159, and the end links are all stamped 154.
Anyone know anything about the two different versions? (e.g. Which came first? Which is more common? Was one of them not for the Mark II at all?)
