·Yes, I did a search and found nothing on OF. Curious if any member on the forum has done such a comparison. I happened to have both bracelets out and decided to do a quick comparison. Open to all opinions, thoughts and criticism.
Finish: I prefer the polish and matt finish of the Omega 1039
Design: Difficult choice but I like the larger links of the Rolex Oyster bracelet and the 7206 feels heavier.
Clasp Design: literally interchangeable, just swap the logo. Although the clasp is virtually the same size when viewed from above the Rolex bracelet sits on a larger portion of the wrist then the 1039. I don’t know if this is a factor of concern.
Clasp Function: no discernible difference, in fact you tighten the clasp in the same manner for both.
Ease of Sizing and Adding or Removing Links:
Adjusting inside the clasp there is no difference, but adding or removing links the Omega is easier.
For most of us if you want to remove a link from the Rolex 7206, you need a watchmaker.
Final Vote:
Rolex 7206 bracelet by a nose
