    Well I bought this mesh bracelet off E-Bay a few months back to fit to a SM 300 (20 mm). After recently collecting it from my parents (presently working abroad) I dont know really know what to make of it? Its a white gold plated mesh and very nice too.
    I was thinking of have a few 20 mm tubes laser welded to it for fitting to my watch, but thought I should ask the forum if anyone has history for or idea of fitting?

    I've never seen that style Omega logo either on the front or back of the clasp. Is it just me?

    I have the same clasp, non-plated though, on the mesh on my Constellation...

    Is the logo on the inside of your clasp identical to the plated version shown?

    Nope, it is Omega-branded in the normal fashion.

    Do you think it's fake?

    Believe me: I'm no expert. However the Omega logo, especially the one on the inside of your clasp, is most unusual.

    I believe I mentioned my concerns regarding the logos on the front and back of the clasp in my initial response.

    Hi,
    as promised futher scan of the bracelet, I just can't understand why fake fabricators would go to so much trouble (white gold plate)? The quality of this bracelet is something else. Still the Omega symbols do look suspect as pointed out. I still can not work out however how it is fitted.

    Any ideas for fitting, before I have 20mm hollow bars welded on to each end?
