Wrong style- you need the 7-row.
To the best of my knowledge, this is false. They were sold side-by-side. Many collectors just prefer the look of the 7 row, but the 5-row are also correct for the dog-leg Constellations.

But @ConElPueblo would definitely know more.

Yeah, as far as I know there isn't a definitive guide on which goes with what; my personal preference is to pair the five row BoR bracelets with the Constellations featuring rounded lugs such as all the bumper and cal 50X versions and 143XX. On the ones with angular lugs or with hidden crowns I find the seven row version far better looking, the more facetted design matching the case design of those references.

Then bracelet in question has the 512 endlinks- they will “fit” on a dog-leg but are not correct- they will bulge over the top of strait sides. That’s what I was suggesting.

Not yet anyway....

This is a point which I am unsure of, I have never seen a 5 row bracelet which I consider to be original on a dog leg connie. However, they were sold together as accessories, so I suppose it is possible, but I don't think likely with the fitment issues.

This is also what I have observed from all of the 5 row BoR endlinks. I have also seen dog leg constellations on #50 endlinks and 8260 bracelet, but these are few and far between.

There is a great essay here on the various bracelets with Constellations for further reading: http://users.tpg.com.au/mondodec//Omega_Constellation_Accessories_Part_2.pdf

Hi all,

I’ve seen different mark on clasp for 1503 bracelet.

some have 1503 and “N.12” marks but some doesn’t have the “N.12” mark, only 1503.

I’m confident both are genuine, but I may be wrong.

Any idea of the reason? Year, manufacturer?

thanks for your help

No idea why some have a number 12, some other don’t? 😀

Me too, but I was scared to ask. These circled numbers are fond on many bracelets, and it happens that the same code of bracelet has different No.
