No 50 end link mystery

Hi all.

I recently purchased an omega 8260 ‘peanut’ bracelet with end links. This has arrived and weirdly the end links, which appear authentic, are not marked with the correct ‘50’ to denote their type. Any ideas why? Or am I dealing with a fake set?

Massive thanks to OF

Just like early #11s on BoRs have unmarked endlinks, the #50s exist without any numbers, too. Especially on sliding-clasp peanut bracelets.

Amazing thank you. Weird that some of these were not marked!

Pics of one that sold on eBay recently. Props to @felsby who spotted it!

I'd just saved it as a favorite, went for a cup of coffee and then it was sold! Not fair.

Yes that’s the expected look for these, but it seems they can come with or without the ‘50’ markings. Good to know
