Any time bare metal is rubbing against bare metal there is a chance of damage. Otherwise why would we need lubricating oils? I thought everyone knew this basic stuff.

 

But it's really not rubbing any bare metal when on the end links stay in place. If I take it off I can push them down a little bit without them touching metal

 

Then wear it if you want to. It's not up to us to convince you of anything...

 

It is touching the case, its touching the lugs and rotating, that will cause friction, that will damage the case

 

Well you guys convinced me
I like the look of the other band but to afraid it will do damage

 

Found a nice temporary band until I can find the real thing

 

Is it the original bracelet causing the issue?
IF NO=> get rid of this bracelet and get an original one
IF YES => let Omega Service deal with it

 

Original is very hard to find . It's not the standard speedmaster one .
This one came with a gen rubber seamaster strap when I got it

 

It's very easy to find, just call up your local Omega dealer, OB, or service center, and ask them for a 020ST1610930. Pay the money, and get the bracelet.

 

I wasn't aware that I could do that since it was discontinued.
Thank you very much

 

Your watch seems to be in great shape, it deserves the original bracelet. It will look fantastic

 

Omg I just checked the bracelet is more than I paid for the watch.
Time to put it on rubber and save up

 

Thanks
It's like brand new if I keep messing around I'm gonna mark it all up

 

It's not discontinued - the bracelet is still available from Omega.

 

Here's a video of the end links
How long would it take to actually do damage
Years ?

 

A couple hours.

Update
Showed the omega boutique the band it's been on and they said there should be no major issues because there's no metal grinding

 

So an OB approved a fake bracelet?

 

Let me ask this
Will the
1503/825 ENDLINKS fit on this band
