Reissued Ladder Bracelets

Looking for fit and part number information on the reissue ladder bracelets, and fit when applied to old watches.

I've seen the threads mentioning the part numbers for the reissued Zenith ladder-style bracelets.
Are there really different part numbers? Because of the different end pieces being part of the "part"?

The Zenith one-page PDF for the A3818 Cover Girl reissue says the bracelet is 27.02.A384.400
Then, there was a mention of a part number 27.03.1916.384 for the A384 Chronomaster Revival

The A38x lugged cases apparently take the 27.09.001.386H (as seen in pictures of the end-link bubble pack). Or is that part number just for the end-link?? But in that thread for the new Ladder on old A386 detailed the filing needed on the wings of the end pieces for it to settle in and allow the spring-bar to seat. (https://omegaforums.net/threads/a386-mkiii.65680/page-3#post-1573221)

Has anyone tried a new Ladder bracelet on an original A3818 or any tonneau case?
How's the fit?

I am one of the interested in this matter.

I have just bought the bracelet, it matches the A384 Revival. I don’t have that watch, but I want to use it in other watches

Originally I bought it for a Sub sea A3736, but the size of the brazalet (18cm) does not match with the lugs, even buying the correct end links.

By the way, I boughted to try to do this



I think it would be so easy as to add two tubes in each side of the last link

Rather than a tube, I would imagine that there are generic end links available, in various widths, and with a cut to fit the center tab. Perhaps Zenith actually have such a part for the various applications of the new bracelet.

Here's a link to Ofrei on a page that shows the kind of selection of links available. If you zoom in, you can see that the kit includes a few straight ends, with varied width openings.

Here, for reference, is an A3736 (well, actually the equivalent by Movado) with an old GF ladder bracelet showing what the end link would look like for this watch. The end is marked ZG, and the width of the "tab" from the bracelet is 7.14mm. Might you be able to measure the width of the Reissued GF center link tab?

Now my bracelet is in the watchmaker, to try to build something ... I gave him a watch to fit the bracelet in, and this watch is an A3736!!

That is such a beautiful watch. The hands and the dial combination is awesome. Congrats!
