Advice needed: Fake or authentic vintage BoR 1036 bracelet

Hi everyone,

I'm pretty new to shopping for vintage bracelets and I found one on eBay that I believe will fit my watch, a vintage Omega 1036 18mm BoR bracelet with #11 endlinks.

The bracelet looks pretty good to me from pictures, a vintage one, a bit scratched up but this is to be expected I believe.



The only area where I started to have doubts was the picture from the clasp where we can read the bracelet reference, we can read from left to right: "(30) STAINLESS STEEL 1036" and then the Omega logo, that seems normal from others I found online but the (30) almost overlaps the STAINLESS STEEL text.


My only question, because I don't have a lot of experience with bracelets from that era is, is it possible that this stuff happened on OEM bracelets or is this proof that it might be fake?

Thanks in advance!

More knowledgeable will reply on the authenticity but it is awfully short and uneven on one side. It is also set to the outer most holes in the clasp. You may want to check the length to make sure it’s not too short for your wrist.

Thanks that is helpful feeback!

Truthfully the length does not scare me too much as I do have pretty skinny wrist and will more than likely have to remove even more links when I do receive it.

Here's another pic from the listing showing the length with the clasp closed:


From one picture above it appears that the long side has a few removable links (I believe I see 3), do you think that maybe some could be moved to the other side to balance the look? I don't know if that's a possibility.

Thanks @MtV !

Would under 150$ with shipping be considered dirt cheap?
