1504/826 is for the pre-ceramic chronograph,
1515/816 is for the 2012 ceramic (regular, no chrono)
Afair these endlinks are not interchangeable. What model you have?

Here is the link to the watch I have on order in both Blue and Grey. Everyone is saying the bracelet that comes with the watch is wrong so I was going to buy a gen bracelet. I tried using the model number for the Omega Seamaster Diver 300 M Automatic 42mm Blue Dial Men's Watch 210.30.42.20.03.001 to determine the bracelet but it is not much help. 30 only means it is stainless.

I dont think you can find the gen bracelet of this new 2018 SMP in the wild yet.


Couldn't resist, I placed my order for the gray one.

Thanks. Now I know why I am having so much trouble finding the bracelet. I couldn't resist either. Within minutes of my TD telling me it was released I sent the payment for the gray version.

Yeah, gen 2018 is not sold by omega yet, and there are no replicas/aftermarkets of 2018 bracelet.
There is no point in buying the bracelets you found on Watchmaxx - they are for the older models, exactly the same bracelet as VSF replicated here.

Yes, seen bigger pearls too, but here, the main flaw is that pearl lume(the white part) sits too deep, the pearl ring is way too fat and the triangle is a bit small.
What I feel is that VSF is probably using the blue bezel it used for the BLUE dial 300m model it released a while ago. So, my bet is that when new bezels kick in production, they would be fixed.

Thanks for the help. It certainly is foolish to spend $650 on the wrong bracelet.

Hi, my blue dial is running a bit slow -15 s/d. Is it ok to regulate the watch by moving the lever?

Any help, please?

No, that lever is just for show, moving it will not change a thing. The real micro adjustment skrew is covered by the deco plate.

Does anyone know which TD is offering theVSF gray dial with SS bracelet AND blue rubber strap?

I think it looks sharp with the rubber strap.

There's no version of this with the rep of the gen rubber strap. I would like to have this too. Maybe in V2? Don´t know if wait for it or pull the trigger right away. The NATO included with the gray one doesn't interest me.

Buy now and search regularly aliexpress/dhgate for a rubber strap (I always do that. Aquaterra rubber strap started showing there few days before TD had the AT watches)

Ts Station just listed a version with the clone movement for the gray!
