·So I purchased a Aqua Terra Day Date 41.5mm on a leather strap (ref 231.13.42.22.02.001)
I'm curious to understand exactly which OEM bracelets will fit this watch and this info is basically impossible to find on the internet. I had the opportunity to purchase a 1567/693 OEM Bracelet, and the seller was nice enough to bring it to me so we could try to match it onto the case before we completed the deal - unfortunately, despite it looking like the end link fit the case perfectly, the spring bars I had that came with my watch did not seem to want to comply fitting in perfectly into the watch with the bracelet (I suspect obviously because of the hole locations on the case not matching up with the hole locations on the bracelet). Is this something that is fixable with different spring bars perhaps? Or has nothing to do with that and indeed this bracelet does not fit this watch?
How is it even possible to know what will fit correctly into my watch case without testing it? I've sent Omega an email hopefully to get an answer, but maybe someone else will know here.
Even more confusingly, I found https://omegaforums.net/threads/ome...41-5mm-231-10-42-21-01-003.31218/#post-351638 this thread where someone sold a similar 41.5mm case (different coaxial version) with the exact OEM bracelet model that I tried on - the only discernible difference being that his 41.5mm case is 13mm thick, while mine is 14mm thick (I am assuming that this is the discrepancy that makes it impossible to match this bracelet onto my watch but would love some feedback.
