I have a 2001 SuperOcean Pro (all brushed) on a Pro 1, coming to me tomorrow

The bracelet is a bit tired and I want to fit a newer 20mm Colt GMT Pro 2 bracelet to it, Which now has an all brushed finish.

What endlinks will I need ? or will the 136 endlinks fit... I doubt it.

SuperOcean Pro had an all brushed bracelet.

There are actually three variants - two for pre COSC and one for COSC, but I think that they are interchangeable - 864a and 865a are hollow links with pins or screws respectively, the 'better' one is probably 879a which had solid links.

Not sure if the hollow ones fit the solid bracelet, so 879a will be safest.

I was surprised at the quality difference in bracelets when I got my 1995 Shark. The thing jingled like sleigh bellls. After a wee bit of bending the hollow end links, the bells were silenced. But I was truly amazed when I took the bracelet off to see the end links were essentially one piece a very thin, bent metal. On the other hand it's pretty easy to work with. Rather keep it original.

My SOpro is the later version A17345 .... Pro 1 with solid endlinks, unlike previous hollow versions.

as far as I can tell the lugs and case shape look exactly the same as this 2008/2009 model... below .....so a pro 2 endlink should be able to fit the same as this A17360.

131A should fit (after you brush them).
