A 1966 Omega SM300 on an Omega Oyster style bracelet.‏

‏I bought my SM300 at the end of 2011 after doing the research which resulted in my post..................

Although I have the original 1039/516 bracelet I have never used it as I am not a fan of the older Omega bracelets - too flimsy and the end pieces never seem to fit tightly.

I have always worn my SM300 on a black leather Omega strap but recently fancied a change.

I already had an Omega bracelet which I like - a NOS Omega 1181/215 bracelet which has been sitting in my parts box for around 10 years. Problem was that the last link width is 23mm whilst the SM300 is 20mm.

I then bought a pair of new 633 end links and removed of the wider links from the 1181/215 until the end links matched the width of the 633 end piece. The 663 end pieces are nice and tight and a perfect fit.

This is the end result..........



I think this bracelet style suits the SM300 and it is very comfortable too.

If you are tempted to have a go consider the following........................

One of the problems with removing the wider links is that the bracelet becomes much shorter. This was fine in my case as I have smallish wrists but could be a problem for a larger wrist.

Note that my SM300 has the black rehaut recently discussed on another thread.............
