Both look amazing!
Both look great!! Bracelet though!! Looks much nicer.
BOR for me every time. They are just perfect for this case style.
BOR, hands down!
Thanks guys, I also usually prefer bracelet over leather especially on the Constellations.
But this combo actually looked better than I though, anyways always fun to vary but I will probably put on the bracelet again soon! 😀

I made some pictures of the micro-adjust BoR. I understood this is the very first BoR made by Omega circa 1956. Very rare. The end links need to be blank so that is also correct. The bracelet is a treasure in itself 👍

All three gens -


Lovely! Can you tell me how you handle your gen 2? I seem to only be able to open the clasp with the micro adjust open at the furthest point? When the micro adjust is at its smallest, I cannot open the clasp. Also, how do you close it? First clasp and the push the micro adjust until the position you want (despite the rattling sound)?

So one of mine does open at the buckle as normal, but I’m not sure it’s supposed to - so I try not to. I believe the correct way to open it is to press the button, slide it down, and then open the clasp. It’s annoying for sure. I assume closing is the same - close the clasp, then slide it up. It’s like a ratchet where it’ll slide notch by notch until it’s in your desired spot.

That is exactly how mine functions! Great, thanks for confirming.

And..... many 2852's would have been on the JB Champion variety like what came with my black dial.



USA measurements at roughly 17.5mm, so appears a bit too short when connected.

These JB versions are perfect for early Bulova Astronaut accutron, a perfect fit because they were sized for USA
