1502 was produced in the 50s, don’t know the exact year though. Agreed regarding the condition of a new one, although we only recently had the discussion and apparently, there are numerous way to artificially age them. Wash them in a bag with small stones or so 😁

Choices, ladies, choices. I did not myself purchase a 3010 but others have and have been happy. I lucked into some older bracelets, had my fantastic watchmaker refinish them.

Plenty of room for all of us in the Omega fandom without acting like Rolex fans.

Forgot to reply to this thread with the final result which was the modern 3010 BOR (courtesy of JWRosenthal) with 512, not 511, end links (courtesy of the NYC OB). Turned out pretty well, I think. Will probably go back to a strap for the cooler, less humid months.

Looks great. If you don’t mind me asking, what’d they charge for the endlinks? Quite challenging to source stray endlinks in my experience..

A real bargain at $46 each plus $25 shipping. 😲 But they were incredibly well packaged with all the usual Omega bling including a nice red ribbon. 🙄
