    After a year of owning my Seamaster 300 and wearing nearly nothing else, I decided that the 1610/840 bracelet combination was The One For Me. Therefore, I went in search of a new 1610 to replace the used 1610 I bought previously.

    I found a 1610 on eBay from New Zealand, and got a good "Best Offer" deal. The bracelet arrived, I sized it, and replaced the end pieces. The result you see below.

    I very much like the size and thickness of this watch. It looks like some of the new watches with the coaxial movements have gotten very thick, and I don't think I'd like that.

    As an alternative to the bracelet, I also have Omega orange crocodile on deployant buckle.

    I'll have to arrange all of the extras for sale soon. :)

    Thanks for reading my nonsense in the past year and showing me good pictures to help make up my mind.

    Tom

    Am I allowed to tell the Emperor he has no clothes?

    Looks more integrated than the mesh, but the mesh is king, and the king beats emperors.

    If only the mesh had a more integrated connection to the watch it'd be perfect.

    You're happy with it Tom, that's all that counts.
