Thanks for sharing. It looks like #12 has a flatter profile than the #11 which seems to be curved coming from the case towards the bracelet. If that makes sense 😀
That's correct. The problem with the 11 or 511 end links on the 2990 case is that they "ride up" over the top of the lugs whereas the 12 or 512 end links will be flush. The difference is especially notable when the lugs are viewed from the side. For that reason, I wouldn't recommend trying the 11 or 511 lugs with the 2990 case.

Ok. I will try find info on this online and more pictures of how it looks. My only doubt would be how a new bracelet looks on an old watch.

I don’t have an Omega Boutique or AD in country so would have to look at online options. Would you mind sharing how much this cost from Omega?
I bought my 3010 bracelet in basically new condition from another collector. I think that the retail price is somewhere around $450, but I'm not sure. A pair of 512 ends links was about $80 if I recall correctly. Perhaps you can try sending a PM to @Archer who is very generous with his knowledge. He may be able to provide you with the part numbers and retail prices for both the 3010 bracelet and the 512 end links.

Thanks for info on pricing. Yes, had a baby ploprof serviced by Archer many years ago and he was very helpful. Will also explore that route if I can’t find something closer to home. Cheers!

Hi guys,
So closing the loop on this one.

I managed to procure a BOR from @No Mercy. I think it looks quite nice despite my hairy wrists

You might want to consider purchasing Omega's modern five row beads of rice bracelet, reference 3010, along with a pair of 512 end links. Both the bracelet and the end links can be ordered from any Omega Boutique or through an independent watchmaker with an Omega parts account.. I have this combination on my Ranchero and it fits really well and looks great.
Hi Gbesq,
Would you mind tell us the price of the bracelet when you bought it ?
I’m considering it for a Seamaster
Thanks

I think that it was about $300 for the bracelet, but I purchased it from a friend who wasn’t using it. The pair of 512 end links were another $100 or so from the NYC Omega Boutique.

Thanks a lot.
It is not cheap, but I would have expected more
