The combination you see above is the T2N649 Weekender - the only one with a gray dial - paired up with the steel bracelet from the white-dialed T2N656 Weekender "Central Park" variant. Looking at the two watches, I had a hunch that the bracelet would suit the gray dial perfectly. I think it's safe to say that things worked out nicely.
It's a shame that Timex doesn't sell the gray dialed Weekender paired up with the steel bracelet (or is it a clever ploy to get us to buy two Weekenders in order to assemble the perfect one?).
As I mentioned in my original Weekender review, it really is the perfect under-$40 watch. This particular combination looks as comfortable under a suit cuff as it does paired with a t-shirt and jeans. And despite what one Amazon.com reviewer claimed, the links are removable, though it does require quite a bit of force to get them to budge. But given how short they are (see the picture above), and the fact that the clasp includes a two-step micro adjustment, it's easily the most customizable and well-fitting bracelet I've ever encountered, at any price point. And since it has straight lug ends and a commonly found 20mm width, it'll work with a vast selection of watches well beyond the venerable Weekenders.
Well done, Timex. Well done.
