Modern Omega logo on vintage BOR clasp?

Hello I own a BOR bracelet (numbers 32 and 3010 marked on clasp beneath, end links no 511, please see pics below).
But the bracelet came with a modern Omega logo on clasp.
I would like to hear your opinion.
Is it a "put together"?
Thank you.

I believe this is the modern replacement bracelet, so that logo doesn’t surprise me.
Thank you @seekingseaquest for reply
Do you think the whole bracelet is a modern one or only the clasp is not period correct?

You seem to also own an older one, have you compared them in detail?

I’d say it’s at least unlikely that your example has the modern 3010 clasp and 511s but the bracelet from the period.

@MtV Cosmetically speaking these BOR are pretty close (steel color/hue). Please see pics below



There are some discrepancies especially on upper/outer clasp:

Looks all correct to me.

If you look at the back of the outside beads, they are often preserved better (eg still fully matt) on the 3010s, as they’re newer and, on average, show less wear. Same on yours, it seems. This is just an indicatior, though, no “proof”. There might the slightest variations, differences in the last link that attaches to the clasp, for example, as seen on yours. I wouldn’t know off the top of my head though tbh.

Either way, these are nice BoRs. And if you’re bothered by the 3010/511 not being period correct, I’m sure you can sell it and get a 1502/11 without losing a dime. 😀

How to tell?

3010 uses split pins.

Earlier uses spring bars.

Don't get hung up in clasp shapes and other associated trivia. There were many OEM who made these bracelets, and they had a variety of clasp closure methods. That you found a difference is meaningless for daily wear. You compared one specific OEM's version to another.

Big deal, so what?

Enjoy that you have a genuine bracelet and not some cheap fake.
