I have answered my own question. After modifying the end links of the 1610/930 bracelet, I was able to get this bracelet to fit the new SMP. It involved removing the tabs that hold the end links in place under the lugs. Using the original spring bars from Omega, it fits snug enough to work with the new case design, but not perfect. I’ll order new end links for the 1610 bracelet to put it back to original condition. If end links are not available, I’ll just order a new bracelet for my old faithful 2254.
The metal bracelet on the new SMP is awful and was obviously an afterthought or was outsourced altogether to some manufacturer that didn’t care.
