If I'm not mistaken the chronograph POs and three hand PO's use slightly different straps and bracelets. I've always had to buy case specific straps for all my POs (both 2500 series and the new ones). I know for sure the rubber straps are manufactured specifically for one or the other.
I would have thought the chronograph would have thicker end links, like with the SMPc vs SMPc chronograph.
