Re: Bracelet for Bond SMP Chrono

John: Since the 2293 is an entirely different bracelet with only three bands rather than the stylish 9 band linkage of the Bond versions, I think the two are probably different. The size of my fractional links is totally different than the picture, and I have at least two and maybe one spare one in the box.

Gringo: The card holder IS white, so that's right, but as I said there should be three cards, and the scratched out date sounds pretty fishy to me. In addition, there is NO question that a band with NO half links is a used band, and as delivered NIB an Omega bracelet should be able to fit an 8" wrist. I think you need to go back to that dealer immediately and demand an explanation for the missing links, and either get some along with a discount or a full refund.

BTW - I got taken by an AD who sold me a 2296.80 for 37.5% discount with only ONE card, and one of the plungers broke within three weeks, so I definitely got a gray market used watch run in on me as new. I share your pain. Good luck!!
