Bracelet options for my 2531.80?

I've been looking to source a bracelet for my Bond Seamaster, and I know the 1503/825 is stock. Anybody know if the bracelet from the SMPc will also fit? I believe that one has screwed in links which is a bit more appealing to me.

Or has anybody tried any of the Forstner or Uncle Seiko bracelets?

Thanks!

You could use a Forstner Model O, 1450 President, or either of the flat-links for the pre-2018 Seamaster. If you want to stick with Omega, you could get a ref. 1610/930 Speedmaster-style bracelet, too. Uncle Seiko also offers an Omega 1171, 1479, and 1450-style, their own flat-link, and a beads-of-rice. A Staib mesh bracelet is a good choice.

Any of the Forstner bracelets for the SMP 300M are solid choices! I recently purchased the 1450 President and couldn’t be happier. I literally waited for 2-3 months as they were out of stock for a while and purchased it as soon as they came back in stock.

They made some improvements to the design:

1) Milled Clasp is now upgraded to a quick-adjustment clasp
2) No more stretch links due to complaints of durability issues. They now come standard with solid links.

Their website has yet to be fully updated with descriptions and pics, but I’ve confirmed the details with them.

20mm Model J, 20mm Contemporary FL and 20mm 1450 bracelets have the quick adjust clasp. Whether they're in Seamaster, Speedmaster or the Tudor collection it doesn't matter. As long as these three bracelets are 20mm, it'll have the quick-adjust clasp.

Feel free to check out my video as well where I change out the original bracelet to the Forstner 1450 President and go over some of those features above.
