18K 166.032 with 1098 Bracelet and 752 Movement

That bracelet is worthless. I'll take it off your hands for 100 bucks, just as a courtesy.

In all seriousness, it's a legit bracelet for the reference and looks stunning. With current gold prices and how hard they're to find, I can only imagine what they go for these days. Here's a thread where we discussed with @OneTwo about this bracelet.


Here's its sibling. A date only, chronometer 168.022 in 18k yellow gold.

Gorgeous watch and bracelet.

I haven't seen that style of clasp associated to the 1098 bracelet neither, in steel, plated, or 18k. There is variety and one can never take it for granted. It may as well be the original clasp, or replaced at one point. It wouldn't bother me either way.

Jiminy Christmas that's an awesome example! Been away from the forum for a bit so this is a rad tread to come back to. I dig that it's a non-luminous example as well. Congrats @cerbfan !! Lovely find. One day I'll find my luck and an example will come my way haha.

Bracelet looks like other examples I've come across. Here's the same bracelet and end link combo, albeit a polished clasp and with the reference stamped on the bracelet instead of 1098, as well as another in this article with the same clasp. It's been a while since I read about them but IRRC, the clasp like that was akin to the "Deluxe" offerings as well as some of the solid gold Speedmasters. There are a bunch of other solid gold examples listed in this post if you're curious to see more.


Out of curiosity would you be willing to share the buying price for the watch with the bracelet?

Not trying to be crass by asking but since it's quite uncommon to find them offered on bracelet, and since my beard may go completely grey before I find an example for myself, I was wondering to have an idea of how much I'll be out when I find one. LOL 😅 Feel free to PM if that would be more comfortable.

Geez is that watch w/ bracelet as heavy as it looks??

That is a really unusual combination, I've never seen a full 18K gold case and bracelet with the non-chronometer dial and movement, the "Golden Seamaster" that @MSNWatch was an early fan of is always the chronometer variant, that watch looks beautiful though, enjoy it mate!
