I've been looking around the back catalogue of omega watches and spotted something.
The old Broad Arrow Speedmaster (3551) models had a five-part link Speedmaster bracelet that had a Planet Ocean style curve to the top surface (the older Broad Arrow model had a straight bracelet).
Does anyone know if that bracelet fits the 42mm 2500 Planet Ocean? It'd be a nice addition to the strap/bracelet collection of it does.
I don't think it will fit out of the box because the holes in the lugs are not in the same place. I was able to get 2500 PO rubber on a SMP using curved spring bars but that isn't an option with a bracelet.
I thought I remember someone putting a PO bracelet on a Speedy using AT end links. I'll see if I can find the pic when I'm at my other computer.
Agree. I know someone who was trying to do the same thing and found out the lug holes on the case will not match up to that bracelet.

well, I know the regular Speedmaster bracelet doesn't fit but the 3551 is the automatic model which as far as I was aware has a different thicker case which would normally equate to different lug/pin position.
On the other hand, I don't recall seeing many people mention that they have this watch and even fewer people talking about the bracelet.
Are you sure they were trying this and not the Pro bracelet?
I found the pic.
Here is a second pic. Check out the gap between the end link and the case.
