Well, as a newb to OF I've been following the advice and have been searching for the correct bracelet for my 168.0065 and low and behold I came across the holy grail kindly posted by michael e:
https://omegaforums.net/threads/case-bracelet-endpiece-list.81618/

I aware this model didn't come with a bracelet but unfortunately nothing appears listed in the images.

I'm thinking of a BoR or mesh bracelet - would anyone have an inkling of which bracelet and end referrences I would need to search availability for since coming up with a blank?

With thanks in advance.

I have a few of them and only one of them came to me on a bracelet, not sure if original to watch but it came on a 2054 bracelet and what looks like 065 end links.

BOR would be correct. From some research on the internet the lug width is 18mm. The BOR is a later 9 row. All the following bracelet references should fit this description: 1503, 1037 1068, 8270

Endlinks which will fit the above on an 18mm bracelet: 570, 532, 586, 654.

Feel free to mix and match, I don't have an original bracelet for this model, and if there isn't one on the table I would hazard a guess at it originally not coming on a bracelet.

Appreciate your feedback Lucasssssss, yes, it's an 18mm lug width.

We popped into a dealers yesterday in Norwich, UK to order a rubber strap & buckle for my Breilting. They confirmed there wasn't an original bracelet on this one.

Do they have a list of the models and bracelets? (and is it the same as Michael E posted?)

I guessing they did, they went off to check behind closed doors though but had nothing on this model so they are contacting Omega on Monday.

I decided to go check out the rest of mine and I forgot that another came on a bracelet when I purchased it. This one, with the more common dial, is on a 1037 bracelet with 564 endlinks. The endlinks don't fit it very well.

That's similar to the BoR I've just bought, will keep quiet for now until it arrives and post some pics...
