Bond Chrone Bracelet
I've asked this question on just about every forum, but so far there has been no answer. I have a Bond Chrono 2225.80.00 with a bracelet that is marked 1503-825 on the clasp and end links are marked 826. It's my understanding the chrono should have the 1504-826 bracelet. Does anybody know the difference between the 1504-826 & 1503-825 bracelets? Is it just the end links( 825 vs 826)? Is the bracelet itself, or the clasp, different in any manner?

Rolex pressure test -- Chicago area?
I am finally de-lurking to ask a question. Based a lot on what I've learned on TRF, I purchased my first Rolex -- a 2-line Sub 14060M -- about 2 months ago from a Trusted Seller here on the site. I absolutely love this watch and wish I had bought one ten years ago.Anyway, the watch is about 15 years old, and is running well. For peace of mind though, I would like to have it pressure tested before I take it swimming etc.Can anyone recommend someone in Chicagoland that will do a pressure test for me (and maybe replace seals if needed)? Based on older threads, I tried calling Jean Claude the Swiss Watchmaker a couple of times, but his phone just rang and rang -- is he still in business? I also tried the Rolex Service Center on Michigan Avenue, but they won't perform a pressure test without paying $600 for a complete service, which I'd rather not do just yet.Thanks for any recommendations. I'm not averse to shipping my watch elsewhere, but I am hoping there are some local options in
